Extend the existing globalization capabilities of .NET to create flexible and powerful multilgual web sites. First, create a custom ResourceManager, and then create custom localized-capable server controls to easily deploy multilingual functionality.
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace Localization {
   public class LocalizedButton : Button, ILocalized {

      #region Fields and Properties
      private string key;
      private bool colon = false;

      public string Key {
         get { return key; }
         set { key = value; }
      }

      public bool Colon {
         get { return colon; }
         set { colon = value; }
      }

      #endregion

      protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) {
         base.Text = ResourceManager.GetString(key);
         if (colon){
            base.Text += ResourceManager.Colon;
         }
         base.Render(writer);
      }
   }
}
