Static members aren't what you want here. Read-only properties sound like a
better approach. You could try something like this (not tested):
public interface ILanguage
{
string Test { get; }
}
public class English : ILanguage
{
public string Test
{
get { return "test"; }
}
}
public class French : ILanguage
{
public string Test
{
get { return "le test"; }
}
}
A different approach might be:
public class Localization
{
private Dictionary<string, stringStrings;
static Localization(string lang)
{
// Load appropriate data into this.Strings from XML, SQL, etc.
}
}
You could then provide an indexer to access the values as follows:
Localization loc = new Localization("en");
loc["test"] // output would be "test"
