I am working on multi language C# project. I have all the neceesary setup for handling multi language in my project and its working fine.

Question i have, is there any way i can know, there is a missing key-value string in my non-default language resource(e.g. SPANISH as english is deafult for me).

e.g.

English
* CodeStr = CODE
* NameStr = NAME

Spanish
* CodeStr = CODE

In above example, Spanish doesn't have NameStr key in it and because of it, application goes to default English language to get the value for NameStr. Is there any i can detect there is missing key in my non-deafult language.

We use Zeta Resource Editor for our string resources. It shows the resource keys and their corresponding values of all the languages in a big grid, and by simple alphabetic sorting of the values of a language, the missing values will show up on top.

I think you should be able to use the ResourceManager.ResourceSets[^] field to get a hashtable of the ResourceSet[^] objects for each culture. Each ResourceSet object has a hashtable containing all of the resources for that culture. I would try scanning through each of those and comparing the keys. The Except()[^] method from LINQ should make that comparison easy.
