Multi-lingual web application – how do I detect the user’s language in ASP.NET?

by

I’m building an ASP.NET web application, and all of my strings are stored in a resource file. I’d like to add a second language to my application, and ideally, I’d like to auto-detect the user’s browser language (or windows language) and default to that, instead of making them choose something besides English. Currently, I’m handling all the resource population manually, so adding a second resource file and language is trivial from my point of view, if I had an easy way to automatically figure out what language to display.

ASP.Net / MySQL : Translating content into several languages

by

I have an ASP.Net website which uses a MySQL database for the back end. The website is an English e-commerce system, and we are looking at the possibility of translating it into about five other languages (French, Spanish etc). We will be getting human translators to perform the translation – we’ve looked at automated services but these aren’t good enough.
