## What it is
A Visual Studio extension and standalone tool for centrally managing ResX-based string resources across a .NET solution. It presents all resource files and languages in a side-by-side data grid for editing, finding untranslated strings, and cleaning up orphaned entries.

## Use cases
- manage resx localization files in one place
- find untranslated strings across resource files
- translate .NET application resources side by side
- clean up orphaned resource entries
- automate exporting untranslated strings during build
- localize WPF applications using resx resources
- manage localization for TypeScript web apps

## When to choose
- you develop .NET applications with ResX-based resources
- you need a central grid view of all languages for your string resources
- you want a Visual Studio extension or standalone tool for localization workflows

## When to avoid
- your project does not use ResX resource files
- you need localization for non-.NET platforms without resx support
- you prefer file-based or TMS-based translation workflows
