In Form designer webreference we can edit the label text using the translation tab. When the form is long and there is a lot of labels or multiple languages, it takes quite long time to edit.  
Is there a way to edit the resource files directly using tools like Visual Studio? I tried it but the resource files got ignored by Form Designer. When I click save, it overwrites my edited file.

Any suggestion?
