How to translate form?

Hello!

I'd like to know if there are good ways to let someone translate windows
forms. We're using Visual Studio 7.1 and I've seen the GUI designer lets
you change language very easily. However, I'd like to be able to let
someone else do the translation, and they don't necessarily have Visual
Studio. What programs are available for this? It seems resgen is not
suitable for this. How do you translate forms?

I have noticed the compiler produces subfolders (en-GB) where resources are
placed. Am I supposed to distribute these with my program?

String literals can be translated by sending the output of resgen to
translators. Is this what you do?

Thanks in advance!

For this sort of thing and many other i18n issues, I'd thoroughly
recommend the Addison Wesley book ".NET Internationalization" by Guy
Smith-Ferrier.

Daniel,

There was in 2003 a Resx editor in C# code (non build) in the standard
development kit.

It is hard to find, however I assume that you can try yourself?
