Looking for some advice on the best way to implement localization along with client specific jargon on a asp.net site that will be used by multiple clients.

For example the labels on a form must vary depending on what client is logged into the site as well as what there language preference is.

So there will be a default set of verbiage/jargon for each client... and then each clients verbiage/jargon will be translated into languages they require.

I was thinking about created a custom culture for each client and then using the "built-in" localization features in asp.net and resource files.

So I might have a default culture... and then client specific cultures... and then client specific cultures translated to other languages.

en-US

de-DE

en-US-client1

en-US-client2

de-DE-client1

de-DE-client2

Does this sound crazy? seems like a fairly sound approach to me... but also maybe a bit of a hack... so I welcome any better ideas?

Thanks all for the help!

Actually it's not, it's a common approach - I've seen it quite a few times for e-commerce stores where the central store is a generic white label.

It's nice because ASP.NET supports localization out of the tin rather than you having to roll your own setting of text in every darned request, trimming viewstate from that, managing caching etc.

And don't forget culture specific information doesn't have to be in a resource file, it can come from a database too.
