Happy to share my thoughts on this here (which I've probably shared in other channels many times)...
Just because something was done a specific way in past versions of Kentico does not mean that's the best way, even if a team is very familiar and comfortable with that approach. Example: Custom Tables.
Because there are multiple approaches I'd ask the following:
- What is the time cost today - example: implementation and training
- What is the time cost in the future - example: limitations in capabilities or scalability over time
- Going back to first principles, if I had never seen a solution to this problem before what is my intuition about solving it today given the approaches available.
I personally rank the options available, without knowing all the context of your project, stakeholders, future plans, etc...
- Content hub - if the localized data is used for marketing and customer experiences then it's content.
- 3rd party integration (or create your own) - if familiarity and consistency is workflow is priority, this provides it.
.resx files - I think these are most important for code that creates UIs that need localized and are packaged up and reused, especially on the administration side of things.
This order could easily change based on context, you know... it depends 😅.
