Another open source (free) tool is SimpleResxEditor found at http://code.google.com/p/simpleresxeditor/ which also works with the RESX files directly. But this tool only allows the translator to work with only one resource set at a time.

Integrating translations into Meridix

By default Meridix translations are built into the system at build time and can not be altered at runtime. So when a translator is done with the translation for a language the files (resx or excel depending on the approach) needs to be sent back to Meridix which will integrate the translation into the build process.

Custom translations

There are a hook that allows a customer to override translations for a specific languages without altering the binary build. This feature is meant to allow a customer to enable a specific terminology to increase the user term recognition.
A custom text file can be created with the name language_overrides.csv containing lines in the format:

"{langauge-code}";"{resourcefilepath}";"{key}";"{value}"

Example of file content:
"sv";"ui\pages";"lbnLoginResource1.Text";"I want to log in"
"sv";"ui\pages";"lbnLoginResource1.ToolTip";"I want to log in right now"

This would override the values for the Swedish translation for the login button on the login page.

The file should be uploaded to the system as a package of the type tranlation_overrides
