Wrong Resource File SharePoint 2010

Question

When editing (already existing) pages users are getting an unexpected error which in logs shows that the file:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Resources\filename.en-US.resx

Cannot be found. The only file we have on our servers however is:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Resources\filename.resx

We don't appear to have any localised version of these files. And the issue isn't happening on newly made sites.

I read somewhere web parts were having issues with the KB284486 patch.

Does anyone have any ideas?

@VirajGorajia It's happening on all sites/subsites that were made. New sites don't seem to have the issue. — Linton Fisher, Nov 30, 2016 at 11:32

Try this:

If possible try putting the resource files in `

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories(SharePoint Site)Port\App_GlobalResources

`

(SharePoint site)Port should be the virtual directory where you are deploying to solution

Try following commands with command prompt

cd /d "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Resources"

copy filename.resx filename.en-US.resx

Resource files are already in that location. I just need to update the existing sites resource files so that it points to filename.resx instead of filename.en-US.resx

The file hasn't been changed, its a custom file that we made and had been working fine until now. It's looking for a localized version of the file.
