Answer 2

I am looking to add globalization feature for an already existing project.
Is there any tool which can give a report on how many button, labels, div, textbox titles are there in razor page ?

Answer 3

I used regex to find the strings in double quote and singe quote while avoiding C# comment to get all the hardcoded string in files. This gave me the list of hardcoded string which may be needed to move to resource files. It is manual process and big one too. After removing all the logging comments, the list became much smaller.
As for html files, we manually checked in each html file.
Any missing hardcoded string needs to be caight during regression testing.
