How to add resx file in visual studio express 2012?

screenchot:AddNewItem I'm trying to localize my WPF project, but it seems that there is no option to add a .resx file?

There is a resource file in project's directory which is for all resources(strings, images, audio files etc). But from my understanding, you can add strings for only one language.

Add separate resource file (.resx) for each language and use them by changing the thread UI Culture - http://www.thebestcsharpprogrammerintheworld.com/blogs/localizing-a-wpf-program-using-csharp.aspx.

See following screen-shot. Right-click on project -> Add -> New Item. Name your file according the culture you want. I named it for Dutch language.

You can do a similar thing if you go to your Project's Properties, and then go to the "Resources" tab there.

Multiple ways to get to Project Properties:

  1. MENU: Project > Properties

  2. Solution Explorer: Expand the project so the "Properties" node is visible. Double-click on it.

Another way (if you really want to add a file) is to right-click on your project (Solution Explorer) and click Add New Item. Here, on the left-hand side select "General" and on the right-hand side select "Resources File".
