I need to localize a .NET assembly (winforms exe), but I don't have its source code. Is there any good tool that allows this?

Thanks.

For analyzing it and finding out the way of accessing resources you might want to use Reflector. Depending on what you find out, you'll probably want to create resource files / satellite assemblies or localize it in a respective way.

Found this: http://www.lingobit.com/solutions/dotnet/dotnet_localization.html

Lingobit Localizer uses binary localization to translate .NET application from one language to another. Lingobit extracts all localizable resources such as strings, menus and forms directly from assembly file (*.exe, *.dll).

My tool of choice was Passolo (not free) but it will only help you if your winform application is localizable (i.e. strings, layout... are stored in a resx file).
