The steps involved in localizing/internationalizing an MVC Controller using a SQL based localization provider may include:

1. Define the localized resources: Identify the resources that need to be localized, such as error messages, labels, button text, etc. Define these resources in a resource file or database table.

2. Configure the localization provider: Configure the localization provider to use the SQL database as the localization source. This can be done using a configuration file or by writing code.

3. Update the controller actions: Replace hard-coded text with localized resources in the controller actions. For example, instead of using "Go" as a button label, use a resource key like "ButtonGoLabel".

4. Add resource keys to views: Add resource keys to the views that are associated with the controller actions. This allows the views to display the correct localized text.

5. Test the localization: Test the localization to ensure that the correct text is being displayed based on the user's language preference or location.

6. Provide translation updates: Update the database table as new content needs to be localized or translated to support new languages.

7. Maintain the localization: Regularly test and update the localization to ensure it remains up-to-date and accurate.
