Problem
I have made a website using(Asp.net, c#) and its content in English. Now i have a requirement to make this website in such a way that is support multiple languages ie (German,French). Lable/Textbox/ string all values will display respective selected languages While searching i came to know there are some ways like - Using localization - Use resource file. - Database(every thing is saved in database for different language). frankly speaking I am not agree with 3rd option. I want to know which is the best way to go or is there any other better way? Note:Current Website was built using .NET framework 4.0/ vs 2010. Thanks
