How can non-technical translators work with RESX files?

RESX files are XML-based, which makes them great for developers but tricky for translators without technical skills. Non-technical users may find it difficult to navigate the file structure, as each translation is wrapped in XML tags and metadata.

There are a few ways to handle this:

• Use a text editor to manually translate values. This requires working directly with XML.
• Convert the RESX file into a simpler format like CSV, though this adds an extra step.
• Use a translation management system (TMS) or dedicated RESX editor, which hides the XML and presents the strings in a clean, translator-friendly interface.

With Localazy, translating a RESX file is as simple as working with any other format. Just create a project, upload your file, add target languages, and start translating. To speed things up, you can even pre-translate the entire file in bulk using machine translation before handing it off for review.
