I noticed that some resources are missing translations. I found one tool which might help with it: <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/tom-englert/ResXResourceManager">https://github.com/tom-englert/ResXResourceManager</a>
Anyone has a better, favorite recommendation for a tool, process to manage resources and translations?
Thanks.

The default way storing in XML files. Are you using Resource Files for translations.

Thanks. I know xml files and one can edit them one by one. I was hoping for better and integrated tool in VS to help to manage.

Is there a reason why use XML files and not resx files to store resource strings. The tool I referenced before only supports resx files. It would be nice to be able to do proper string resource management in Visual Studio. Please advise.

From the documentation on Localization:
Best Practices
XML files, JSON files and Resource files have their own strengths and weaknesses. We suggest you use XML or JSON files instead of Resource files, because:
- XML/JSON files are easy to edit, extend or port.
- XML/JSON files require string keys while getting localized texts instead of compile-time properties like Resource files. This can be considered as a weakness. However, it's easier to change the source later. We can even move the localization to a database without changing the code which uses localization (Module Zero implements it to create a database-based and per-tenant localization source. See documentation on Language Management.)
If you use XML or JSON, we recommend you do not sort the texts by name. Sort them by creation date! This way, when someone translates it to another language, he/she can easily see which texts have been added recently.
From the documentation on Language Management:
MultiTenantLocalizationSource wraps existing DictionaryBasedLocalizationSource-based sources. We generally wrap XML-based localization sources. It cannot wrap Resource File sources since resource files are designed as hard-coded and static files which are not proper for dynamic localization.

After research I found a better solution to use ResourceFileLocalizationSource provided by apb
but it has bugs and does not work, see <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/aspnetzero/aspnet-zero-core/issues/952">https://github.com/aspnetzero/aspnet-ze ... issues/952</a>
