GetText.NET Wiki

GetText.NET is a .NET cross-platform implementation of the GNU Gettext library, originally based on NGettext. GetText.NET supports string interpolation and FormattableString.
GetText.NET.Extractor extracts string values from C# source code in GetText.ICatalog method calls to Get*String(), and also Windows.Forms.Control and WPF element properties showing text, such as .Text, .HeaderText, .ToolTip or .Content. Translations are loaded directly from gettext *.mo files. Multiple translation domains and multiple locales can be loaded in one application instance. There is no need to compile satellite assemblies. GetText.NET supports both little-endian and big-endian MO files, automatic (header-based) encoding detection and (optional) plural form rules parsing.
