I see that you have used XML files to define the translations for variables. I did see a brief description on how to configure the ASP.Net boiler plate to use RESX files and did get it working but it took a bit of work. I am now planning on developing a real production application using ASP.Net Zero and before I use the "standard" RESX files I would just like to know why XML files seem to be the preferred method of localization in the ASP.Net boilerplate?
Thanks... Terry

Resx files has some advantages (like using in data annotations). I prefex xml since it's simpler, easy to extend (<a class="postlink" href="http://www.aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Documents/Localization#DocExtending">http://www.aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/ ... cExtending</a>). Also, it can be edited/saved easier without stopping the application. Also, it can be stored in different sources. I also have written some notes in the document's colclusion section: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Documents/Localization#DocConclusion">http://www.aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/ ...

But it's your choice, if you're comfortable with resx, you can go with it, no problem :)
