Internationalization in ASP.NET MVC application

I'm going to develop an ASP.NET MVC web-app and I'm new to this framework. I usually develop web application on Java platform using Spring MVC as web framework.

I need to implement internationalization in my new application but I can't find a standard approach to achieve this using ASP.NET MVC.

In Spring I usually have several properties files for all the languages supported: messages_en.properties, messages_it.properties, etc. and I use a key-value approach to access the right message in the file:

mainPage.title=The title # in messages_en.properties

mainPage.title=Il titolo # in messages_it.properties

Is there something similar in .NET platform? Or is there any other "standard" way to implement i18n?

ASP.NET uses Resource files to store various strings etc.... and each resource file can contain different language versions accessed using a key, similar to how you work now.

I would advise reading this blog which explains in good detail how to implement this across models, views and controllers:

You can achieve this with Resources. Its the same simple key => value approach as in Spring, where you have a Resource File for each language.
