Hi there

I am VERY new to programming on a whole and this is my first question so please go easy on me. I have searched everywhere for a solution but nowhere seems to deal with the same situation.

Basically, I am one of two developers working on the same project. I have just completed the globalization of the project with English (en-ZA) and Spanish (es-AR). However, there was no design freeze on the project so I now need to incorporate my resource file changes to the latest version of the project. I obviously tried a simple copy-and-paste of the resource files but that was unsuccessful. Like I said, I am still new to c# and WPF and only just learnt about localization so still trying to grasp many concepts here.

Please can someone help me to understand how to use my resource files in the latest version of the project?

Thanks!

Can you please clarify with a code example?

Sorry Shai, I obviously haven't worded my question very well, or I am just not understanding. But it's not a problem in my code(?). Everything works fine and the project translates to Spanish according to the users localization settings. What I need is to take the same, but updated, resource file (composed of strings) and put it in the newest version of the project? All the code is the same, except for some bindings which are missing but those are easy to fill in once the resource file is updated. Does that make sense?
