In my module I'm trying to get localized text from resources in another module.
Tried: 
Localization.GetString("myText.Text", Replace(PortalSettings.HomeDirectoryMapPath, "Portals\" & PortalId.ToString, "DesktopModules") & “DIBW9000\App_LocalResources\DIBW9000.ascx." & Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name & ".resx")
and
Localization.GetString("myText.Text", Replace(PortalSettings.HomeDirectoryMapPath, "Portals\" & PortalId.ToString, "DesktopModules") & “DIBW9000\App_LocalResources\DIBW9000.ascx." & Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name & ".resx", Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name)
but I'm always getting epty string except for the portal default language (in my case Croatian - hr-HR).

Any ideas anybody?

So, after further investigation found an error in the AdminLog:
The relative virtual path 'c:/cleanblue/desktopmodules/dibw9000/app_localresources/dibw9000.ascx.host.resx' is not allowed here.
How did the .host got in there?

Then I tried:
Localization.GetString("myText.Text", "~/DesktopModules/DIBW9000/App_LocalResources/DIBW9000.ascx.it-IT.resx")
and got an empty string (again) but no error in the Admin log.

Got it!

Localization.GetString("myText.Text", "DesktopModules/DIBW9000/App_LocalResources/DIBW9000.ascx.resx")

I am glad, you were able to find a solution.
Please note: usually you would not re-use localization from other modules. Either create a library component (module or provider) with its own localization, or duplicate the key. Within a module, you may use the SharedResources.resx file.

Actually, I have a module with my objects and all the functions (database access) so other modules reference this one.
In some solutions this module is referenced by 30+ other modules so i have added to this "global" module translations for standard actions, messages etc.

Maybe there is another, better way to get those resources than the one i am using?
