Implementing WinForms Application Translation?

I am working on an application that will be deployed in many different countries, which, of course, means different languages.

The fact is that I would not translate it myself, nor other developers. One of the users will translate it, and he will not have access to Visual Studio.

The question is how to do this? Is there a tool for editing resx files and viewing text in the application context? Also, is it possible to add a translation file to an already compiled application?

Take a look at Microsoft's WinRes ; it allows third parties to translate / localize your forms using a visual designer.

If the user is customizable, then resource files are probably not the best choice; rather, they have a default schema and user editable XML files.

If the problem is a translator, you can use something like the Amazons Mechanical turk service to do the translations for you. https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome

It looks like Google has a similar suggestion: http://techcrunch.com/2008/08/04/google-takes-on-mechanical-turk-with-translation-center/
