In the web project I have been working on, we have string literals all over like

<div class="title">This is Title</div>
<div class="text">This is some text<div>

In order to make the application multilingual, I need to replace all these literals to some helper methods:

<div class="title">@TranslationHelper.Translate("This is Title")</div>
<div class="text">@TranslationHelper.Translate("This is some text")<div>

I want to create a custom shortcut (e.g CTRL + ALT + M) either through Resharper 8.0 or Visual Studio 2012.

When I select the text I want to transform and press the shortcut I defined, Visual studio should replace the selection with the format I defined.

How do I do that?

You can use Resharpers Surround With feature to acheive this. First open the Template Explorer

Resharper -> Template Explorer

Enter your desired string in the template editor and save (Ctrl-S)

Now place your cursor in the desired text. On another note you can use Resharpers Extend Selection feature to quickly select the text (Shortcut is Ctrl-Alt-RightArrow)

Once the text is selected choose press Ctrl-E,U (Resharper Surround with)

Click More where you can select your new template and ensure you add it to the quicklist so its added to the list for next time
