Use value from resx file in selected language

I have a ASP.NET MVC Website.

I use resources files to translate the website using 

@Html.Encode(Resources.MY_STRING)

But in some pages, I would like to display the text in all languages. Is it possible to do it with resx files ?

Here is a example of what I want to do :

@Html.Encode(Resources.MY_STRING, "en-US")
@Html.Encode(Resources.MY_STRING, "fr-FR")

Of course it doesn't like this but is there a way to do it using .resx files ? Or should but these texts in an other configuration file...?

Solution

  • Yes, that is possible. But not as direct as your code.

    CultureInfo userCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");
string myString = HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject("MyResource", "MyString", userCulture).ToString();

    But maybe you just wanna store all languages for that particular case in one/all resources.
