Around world in a session! Globalization and localization of software
summary
Shows a working ASP.NET Core demo that wires localization via middleware, CultureInfo and the string localizer, stores translations in resx resource files under a Resources folder, and exposes a cookie-based culture selector as a partial view that flips en-US ↔ fr-FR. Covers legal/privacy pitfalls, iconography pitfalls, and UI issues like RTL and text overflow. Recommends UI automation (Selenium/PhantomJS) for testing and suggests sharing resource files across web and mobile when possible.
