The formats RESW and RESX are the standard for localizing your C#/.NET applications. RESW was introduced with Windows 8 to create Windows Store Apps. These two file types have different extensions (.resw, .resx), but the content is the same. The only difference is how you use these file types in your application development process.

Format

This format is based on XML; therefore, XML rules concerning encoding, escaping, and quoting apply.
If the XSD schema is in the file, Lingohub will ignore it.
The name attribute of the <data> element will become the segment key.
The name attribute has to be unique in a Lingohub project.
The content of <value> will be used as the segment's text.
An XML comment will be assigned to describe the following segment.
Placeholder examples: {name}, {0}
If xml:space=”preserve” is given, Lingohub won’t strip the content of the <value> node.

Examples

Additional example files can be accessed here (RESX) and here (RESW).
