Localize text in the resource files

This toolkit includes a set of localizable resource files in the LocalizedResources folder. These files contain the text strings used in the AVEVA Historian Client product. You can use any editing tool you prefer to localize these text strings.

Once translated, the resulting resource files (.resx) will be built into the resource DLL files.

  After translating the .resx file, the file extension name need needs to be added the culture name.
