Title Body

I've been working through my first MVC application, and I'd like to localize it. I know how to use the App_GlobalResources but I'd prefer to use the App_LocalResources. In a typical WebForms application, you put the App_LocalResources folder in the same directory as the ASPX file... is this the same in MVC (IE: do I put them in the respective subfolders in the "views" directory)? Also, when accessing the App_GlobalResources in your view you can do it like so <%=Html.Encode(Resources.Index.Title)%> however I cannot do that with the App_LocalResources. I don't want to have to make my <label runat="server" in order to take advantage of the meta:resourcekey EDIT: I discovered ONE method to do this, but I'm not sure if this is the best method. Here's the idea You put the App_LocalResources folder as a sub folder within your respective View folder You create resx files that correspond to your Views... IE: Index.resx or About.resx You set the Resx files properties to be "Public" (PublicResXFileCodeGenerator), "Embeded Resource", "Views.[viewname]" namespace Create a new resource name called "Title" and put whatever you want in the Value. Now I can reference the Local Resources using something like this <%= MyProj.Views.Home.Index.Title%> The only problem I see with this is the fact that the resources are embedded and I cannot add new locales without re-compiling the project. Here is my reference on this method.
