DotNetNuke does not support ASP.Net localization, this is turned off in web.config, because it conflicts with DNN localization. I remember however a project by Brandon Haynes on Codeplex, how to enable ASP.Net localization in DNN. IMHO the easiest way might be either using a different application folder for your solution or just converting your pages into a DNN module.

Solution:

Got the hint from post of David Pugmire at 
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/tabid/795/forumid/78/postid/16911/scope/posts/default.aspx

To resolve the url... I have used the resolve url before but may be it was just the think that was not working for me today lolz

The localization files are in "/App_LocalResources/" with extension "ContactForm.ascx.resx" and "ContactForm.ascx.es-ES.resx"

Actual page is in "/Portals/0/Pages/ContactForm.aspx"

***************************************

	Protected Sub Page_PreInit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreInit
		
		Dim lang As System.Globalization.CultureInfo
		Dim langSetDefault As Boolean
				
		langSetDefault = False		

		'Add query string logic
		Dim qsLang As String
		qsLang = Request.QueryString("lang")
		If (Len(qsLang) > 0) Then
			If (qsLang = "spanish") Then
				lang = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("es-ES")
			ElseIf (qsLang = "german") Then
				lang = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE")
			ElseIf (qsLang = "dutch") Then
				lang = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("nl-BE")
			Else
				langSetDefault = True
			End If				
		Else
			langSetDefault = True
		End If
		
		If (langSetDefault = True) Then
			lang = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")
		End If
		
		System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = lang
		System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = lang

	End Sub
    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

		lblAboutYourself.Text = Localization.GetString("lblAboutYourself.Text", ResolveUrl("~/App_LocalResources/ContactForm"))
		lblFirstName.Text = Localization.GetString("lblFirstName.Text", ResolveUrl("~/App_LocalResources/ContactForm"))
		
    End Sub 'Page_Load

With link href "?lang=english" "?lang=spanish"....

I am still working on this and may need to rename file names for other reasons...

Thanks Sebastian for your suggestions as well :)
It has been a great day even though the first half was frustrating :D

Thanks,
Wasay
