Only Core web projects currently contain resx files and therefore only Core web projects are imported into Sisulizer.

Handling Resx Files and Keys in VS Solution

In general, you only need to worry about the English (default) resx files in the VS solution. All other language specific resx files (translations) are maintained by Sisulizer tool. There are a few exceptions when adding new/removing resx files (see below for more details).

Don't change/update any names/values within a translation resx file. Changes to translation resx files will be ignored and overwritten by Sisulizer. Any update to a translation must be done in Sisulizer to take effect. Having said that, changes to default resx files must be done in VS solution to take effect because Sisulizer will read the default resx file as 'truth'. 

Default resx file: VS solution is the authoritative truth and changes flow from VS solution → Sisulizer

Translation resx files: Sisulizer is the authoritative truth and changes flow from Sisulizer → VS solution

Add new Resx File

If you need to add a new resx file, add the default resx file only (i.e. AssessmentSelectorControllerRx.resx). Any translation resx files and their names/values are handled by Sisulizer (i.e. AssessmentSelectorControllerRx.fr-CA.resx and AssessmentSelectorControllerRx.en-US-Disney.resx).

Edit Existing Resx Name/Value

Only update the default resx file - updates to translation resx files are handled by Sisulizer.

Remove Resx File

Delete all resx files (default and all translations) from the VS solution. Sisulizer will catch up on the changes because the default resx file was removed. If translation resx files were left in place they'd become orphaned because Sisulizer wouldn't delete or even read them once the default resx file was removed.

Move Resx File to Other Location in Solution

Only move the default resx file to the new location. Delete any translation resx files of the moved file from the VS solution. Sisulizer will generate new translation resx files for the moved default resx file. Translation resx files could be moved to their new location too so the files wouldn't need to be re-added to the VS solution later on.
