Hi Trint,
IMO, Satellite Assemblies is the best way. Here's a quick description of
what you need to do. I hope I didn't leave anything out.
In your Page_Load set Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture to
Request.Languages[0]. Then create a Satellite assembly for each locale you
want to use. Alternatively, you could set CurrentUICulture from where the
user selects a culture out of a list. Additionally, set
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture for globalization format settings such
as numbers, date/times, and currency.
In VS.NET create a *.resx file for each locale you want to support. Name
each one <YourAppName>.<locale>.resx (locale is case sensitive). When you
compile, VS.NET will create sub-directories for each satellite assembly.
The CLR is smart enough to know which directory to look at, based on the
culture you set CurrentUICulture to. Use the ResourceManager class to
extract strings based on a Name/Value pair you added to your resx files.

For example, given the following:
1. My browser's locale is set to "en-US".
2. My Apps default namespace is set to "MyNamespace" (configurable through
project properties)
3. My App name is "MyAppName" (configurable through project properties)
4. I added a resx file to my project named "MyAppName.en-US.resx"
(available via Add New Item Wizard)
5. I added a name/value pair of "HelloKey" and "Hello C#!" to my resx file,
respectively.
6. The following code would emit "Hello C#!" at the top of my response
stream.
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new
CultureInfo(Request.UserLanguages[0]);
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("MyNamespace.MyAppName",
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
string greeting = rm.GetString("HelloKey");
Response.Write(greeting);
