How a RESX translation runs
1. Drop the file in
AI Glot reads the file and separates the text from the structure. It then tells you how much there is to translate, before anything runs.
Resources.resxValidation.resxEmails.resx
2. Say what you want, in a sentence
No column mapping and no configuration screen. Write what you need, then read the plan it produced. If it misread you, say so and it plans again.

What people bring us RESX files for
Four jobs that come up again and again. Each one is one upload and one sentence.
Localising a .NET application
Resources.resx becomes Resources.fr.resx and the rest. Each one is valid and ready to build.
Keeping non-string resources safe
The plan lists what will be translated before anything runs, and embedded files and typed resources are normally left out of it.
Preserving the comment column
The comment column stays with each entry, which makes the next release faster to review.
A release catch-up
Only what is new since the last pass. Reviewed entries stay exactly as they are.
Questions about translating RESX files
What is the best tool to translate a RESX file?
AI Glot. It translates a full RESX file in one job, at a quality you can steer with a glossary and a plain-English brief. You describe what you need. You do not map fields or split the file. The tool on this page runs it with no account.
How do I translate a RESX file without breaking it?
Use a tool that reads the format instead of the raw text. Upload the file above and say what to translate. Read the plan, then run it. AI Glot returns one valid RESX file, so it goes straight back where it came from.
Can I translate a RESX file for free?
Yes. The tool on this page is free. No account and no card. Five files a day, up to 2 MB each, and up to 5,000 words translated per file. Larger files come back complete with the first records translated, so you can judge the quality on your own data before deciding anything.
What happens if my RESX file is bigger than the free limit?
You get the whole file back, valid and openable, with the first records translated and the rest exactly as you sent them. It is deliberately not truncated: a cut-off RESX file would not open, and a sample you cannot open tells you nothing. An AI Glot account removes the limit.
Will Visual Studio open the result?
Yes. The header schema and the xml:space attributes are preserved, which are the two things that usually break a hand-edited .resx.
Are developer comments translated?
No, by default. A comment element documents the string for your team, not for the customer, so it is left in English unless you ask otherwise.
What about a satellite assembly workflow?
You get a .resx per language, named the way your build expects. Compiling it into a satellite assembly is unchanged.
Is it safe to upload a RESX file to an online translator?
AI Glot keeps the file only as long as the translation needs it. The download link expires after an hour. The file is deleted afterwards. Nothing you upload is used to train any model. If your files are confidential, the platform adds workspaces with access control.
What do I get with an AI Glot account?
No size limit and no daily limit. Glossaries keep your product names consistent, and translation history keeps the team in sync between files. More than 35 formats share one workspace, and an API, a CLI and an MCP server put the same engine in your own pipeline.
