Towards Learning Localization and Globalization

[Jordan S.]

I am looking for good reference material (books, reference applications,
articles etc) that address localization and globalization in .NET...
satellite assemblies etc.

I'm designing a new ASP.NET application (in .NET 3.5) that will need to be
available to users in multiple cultures.

And yes, I have googled and checked Amazon.com. the only book on Amazon.com
(by Symmonds) is 5 years old and has terrible reviews. So I'm hoping for
recommendations from some of you who may have come across helpful resources
on this topic.

Thanks

I bought ".Net Internationalization" by Guy Smith Ferrier which is a great
read.

Not sure if much has changed much with 3.5, but you could write and ask him.

him once at a talk. Nice chap.

Hope that helps.

Yup, I'd second the recommendation of both the book and Guy himself
