2.1. For designing a new localized software product

Developer can put every resources needed for localized software product in some type of resource repository. This repository may be Windows resource files, .NET assemble files, or a database. This resource repository is easily editable, and also eliminates the need for source code recompiling.
2.2. For localizing an already existing software product
Here it is assumed that the source code (in the source language) for the software product to be localized is already available.
