Due to some incompatibility problems on iOS (it natively accepts only pt or
es and not es-MX, es-CH, etc) and that I'm coming for port from Windows
Mobile to other-OS, but using .NET internal localization that recognize
correctly es-MX and es-CH and etc, I created a table from server to device
that is in the format like Visual Studio, control name and property, value
(text or true|false for Enabled, Visible, etc) and then I made an engine to
get this and translate controls that now is running on Windows (for
cross-platform symmetry) and iOS. Next will run on Android and WP7.
So if something must be corrected or also changed from a client to another,
it's just to change values on server and then on next device sync it will
update this Library of languages. And has a Library.GetString("StringID")
for text messages. So I abandoned resx from Windows (that I have to say,
it's awesome and will miss it if I didn't created my own engine inspired on
it)
The only part that use native translations on iOS and Windows Mobile is the
Login screen that, on the first use, do not has a database so it get generic
pt, es, en etc.

In my app I've created the translator which converts original language files
into android's string.xml format. Works nicely.
