Developing ASP.NET MVC Web Applications — Question 103

You are designing a localized ASP.NET application to support multiple cultures.
You need to ensure that the application can be displayed in several languages.
How should you implement this feature?

Answer options

• A. Use a resource (.resx) file.
• B. Include language-specific content in the assembly manifest.
• C. Use Systems.Collections.Generics.Dictionary to store alternative translations.
• D. Ensure that all strings aremarked internal.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as resource (.resx) files are specifically designed for localizing .NET applications by storing culture-specific strings. Option B is incorrect because the assembly manifest does not support language-specific content directly. Option C is not ideal for localization since a Dictionary does not provide the same structured support for multiple cultures as .resx files. Option D is irrelevant to localization, as marking strings internal does not aid in presenting multiple languages.
