Resources localization

GBA

Hi all,

I would like to know how i can localize my Xamarin.Mac resources.
It seems that the standard Microsoft .Net mechanism : ComponentResourceManager.GetString( String, System.Globalization.CultureInfo) can't translate resources.

What is the best method under MacOS to localize GUI components ?

Thanks.

So localization is one of the areas that we know we need a much better story. XS internally uses this

along with creating UI components / labels in code.

Other people report success with

at least with iOS. I have not tested it w/ XM and it might need tweaking / recompiling.

Here is the Apple doc on their approach:

Hope that helps. I've never personally done this yet, so feel free to reproduce back how it goes.
