Ok so I have been working on this project over at InterviewStream for about 3 weeks now.  For any of you out their who actually have experience globalizing a web application you know that MSDN's documentation isn't as transparent as you would like.  A good starting point for anyone who is starting a project is http://asp.net, Scott Hanselman has done a great job with Wiki Internationalization section.  You will find some great links to articles that are some must reads and even some really great videos that will help you get started.  Scott Hanselman's blog also pointed me to Microsoft's translator.  All you have to do is type in the address of your site it returns a translated version of the text for you.  If you don't know about Rick Stahl, take a minute and read Rick Stahl's article on localization, he has a great code sample that is great after you have become a little more comfortable with the basics.  If you are lucky enough to find an article on the topic for you are researching your usually won't be disappointed.  At the bottom of his article he has an amazon listing for Guy Smith Ferier's book on internationalization.  Though the book answer all of your questions it will again be a good basis for you when you are starting out.  In my future posts I will show you some of tips and tricks that will save you time and even post some code samples and tools that have helped me through out the project. 

When others disprove our self proclaimed impossiblities we all at times play the fool.  I figured that the intial blog post for Void Impossible.com's blog should be on April 1, 2008.  Great day by the way, because I think it reminds us to not always take things so serious and remember to not forget about our inner child.  Moving on the goal of this blog is to help better serve and help my professional IT community, with an emphasis on development. 

My original idea for this site was a place where people could post every day problems they face in IT departments and how they best go about solving them or even better yet how they would do it differently if they had the time to go back and do it all over again.  For now the site will consist of this blog, but if anyone wants to get involved in a free open source development solution project (Man that is a mouth fool), feel free to contact me.  Too often in IT people seem to think that their knowledge is the value and sharing it with their peers will hurt them professionally in some way.  I am hoping that the blogs, projects and content on this site and from others all over the information superhighway, (I kind of miss that buzz term) IT departments/professionals will realize that it is just as important to contribute and help others as it is to be polished on today's top technologies.
