How to avoid merge conflicts with RESX files in team development?

RESX files are XML-based, and when multiple team members edit them at the same time, it’s easy to run into merge conflicts—especially if translators, developers, or content managers all contribute in parallel. Even small changes like reordering or formatting can trigger conflicts in Git or other version control systems.

A common way to reduce these issues is to use branching: maintaining separate branches for different tasks or teams. Each branch keeps changes isolated until they are ready to be merged, which makes versioned development more manageable. This approach is particularly helpful for larger teams where multiple people need to update resources at the same time.

With Localazy, you can avoid most of these headaches altogether, since it acts as one source of truth, automates synchronization, and lets contributors collaborate without manually editing raw RESX files.
