Subfolders of the project structure. NET for each language.

Question

I created a new C # class library project that will contain resource files for all translations. The examples I saw have a flat structure with one giant resource file for each such language:

• Messages.resx
• Messages.fr-FR.resx

But for this particular project, it is preferable to split the resource files into logical groups:

• SystemMessages.resx
• UserMessages.resx
• SystemMessages.fr-FR.resx
• UserMessages.fr-FR.resx

This will be messy when we add more resource files and more translations, so it would be more manageable to have subfolders for each language, for example.

• en-GB \ SystemMessages.resx
• en-GB \ UserMessages.resx
• FR-FR \ SystemMessages.fr-FR.resx
• FR-FR \ UserMessages.fr-FR.resx

, . Translations.en-GB.SystemMessages.MyString, , en-GB , fr-FR.
