In .Net 2.0, the resource file is into an XML format which I think is
great.


However I would like to know if .NET comes with tools that allow you to

convert that resource file to a flat text file.


The flat text file would be what I send to the translation document.


What I mean by flat file is something like this:


save_button=save
phone_label=Phone Number
phone_num_req=Phone Number Required


Once I receive the file back from the transalation department, I would
convert it back to the XML.


Let me know if it possible,


Many Thanks!

Resgen will convert files from .resx to text and back. See

Note the text format is a particular format, so your localizer should not
change the format otherwise it will fail to compile back to .resx.
Hope this helps,
