ResX to XLS and Back Again - A Multi-Language Resource Helper

CodeProject - Resx To Xls Conversion for multi language support

"Do you need to localize your resx files and you don't want to open one file at a time, clean it from unused keys, localize it etc etc. ? Resx2Xls it's for you.

1) Open resx2xls. Just point you Project, go to resx2xls tab, the cultures that you nedd for localization, and Click on "Create new empty xls" button. Done!!

2) Fill your excel file with your localized key values or just send it to your translator

3) Now do you want to create the localized resx files from the filled excel workbook? Open resx2xls, go to the xls2resx tab, selected your xls file and click "Create resx files". Done!!

4) Have you updated your Project and your resource files have been modified (added, removed, updated)? No problem. Open resx2xls, go to the general tab and select your project root, go to the xls2resx tab, selected your xls file and click "Update xls from Project". Done!!

..."

Nice. When/if I add multi-language support to my Blogger Backup utility, this could be very useful.
