Tools and techniques for repositories and related services for managing localization of resources are described herein. These repositories may include representations of resources provided in first human languages, representations of software products that may incorporate these resources; and representations of other human languages into which the resources are localized. The repositories may relate the resources to the software products and to the other human languages. Methods provided by these tools may receive the resources as provided in the first human languages, send the resources for localization into other human languages, and receive localized resources. The methods may convert the localized resources into binary representations, and build software products that incorporate the binary representations. The tools may also provide systems that include processors, suitable bus systems, and computer-readable storage media that contains the resource repository.
