Why do you want to do this? Trying to localize an application by
centralizing all of the strings in a single file per culture
sacrifices many of the benefits of the .NET localization model. In
particular it means you cannot view/edit the localized forms/controls
at design time and ensure that controls are sized appropriately for
each language.

The main challenge with the .NET localization model is the number of
resource files you need to manage and providing a mechanism for the
translator to translate them. This can be overcome with the use of a
good third party localization tool. Infralution has just released a
new product, Globalizer.NET, that simplifies this process. It is
very reasonably priced and has a free Translator Edition that can be
used by the translator to perform translations, preview the localized
forms and controls and even build the fully localized application.
You can get more information and download an evaluation from
www.infralution.com/globalizer.html
