The resource object with key 'KeyName' was not found

I am developing a multilingual ASP.NET website using the App_GlobalResources. In App_GlobalResources folder, I added two resource files: Resource.language.en-US.resx and Resource.language.fr-FR.resx.

I also added a web form named About.aspx. In this page I added this span:

<span>
    <asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" Text="<%$Resources:Resource.language, aboutFoundation%>" />
</span>

And in code behind:

public partial class About : BasePage
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Session["lang"] = "en";
    }
}

And last, the BasePage:

public class BasePage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected override void InitializeCulture()
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request["lang"]))
        {
            Session["lang"] = Request["lang"];
        }
        string lang = Convert.ToString(Session["lang"]);
        string culture = string.Empty;
        if (lang.ToLower().CompareTo("en") == 0 || string.IsNullOrEmpty(culture))
        {
            culture = "en-US";
        }
        if (lang.ToLower().CompareTo("fr") == 0)
        {
            culture = "fr-FR";
        }
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(culture);
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(culture);

        base.InitializeCulture();
    }
}

Now when I run the project, I get the following error:

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately. Parser Error Message: The resource object with key 'aboutFoundation' was not found.

What could be the issue? Thanks in advance.

You don't have a file named Resource.language. You have a Resource.language.en-US.resx and a Resource.language.fr-FR.resx. So you can either add one more file in your App_GlobalResources folder named: Resource.language.resx And it's content should be exactly the same as Resource.language.en-US.resx or you can rename Resource.language.en-US.resx to Resource.language.resx so you would have one Resource.language.resx that is necessary.
