I had a similar issue however found a different solution than what I have read. I came to my fix after reading P Walker's answer.

My issue happened when I named my resource file for Japanese language incorrectly. Long story short I was trying to create a Resource for Japanese but I accidentally named it localized.jp.resx. I then realized that the iso language code is ja not jp for Japanese. Once I changed the file name to localized.ja.resx and deleted everything that was in the designer file it fixed my problem.

This is what fixed my problem hopefully it helps someone else.
