Don’t expect miracles and don’t look for a function in .NET called string Translate(string input, string inputLanguage, string outputLanguage). If you don’t want to use third party translation services because you don’t trust them and you have no control over the data publisher so that it provide you with translations of the content on different languages there’s really not much you could do. If it’s simple words you could keep a dictionary in order to perform the translation on the fly but that will be impractical for whole sentences.
