Hi,

Same resource file can be used for multiple pages by placing them in App_GlobalResources. 

Global resource file formats are:

name.language.resx

name.language-culture.resx

Also make below note:

Resource files under App_LocalResources are used for storing information that is not repeated accross pages, whereas App_GlobalResources is used for storing site-wide content or content that is duplicated on multiple pages.

If we put all of our content only in global resource files then we will be overloading App_GlobalResources and it can grow in size and making it difficult to manage and update. For large application having lot of content in single resource file, there can be performance impact.

Unless you code the translation feature by your own function, otherwise, you have to create the resource files for each page in order to use the localization features provided by ASP.NET.
