Xamarin.Mac with multilingual app toolkit and Font settings

diwakar

Hi Experts,

I am a newbie and I need to implement localization in Xamarin.mac application in Mac OS X. I want to use Multilingual App Toolkit of microsoft. Is there any way to implement MAT in Xamarin studio Project in Mac OS X?
Also
Is there any method to manage the font style of all labels and buttons in Xamarin.Mac application so that I make change in one place and it will reflect to the font styles of all labels and buttons in the application.

So I have never heard of/used the "Multilingual App Toolkit", but it appears to be a Visual Studio extension and library. Since you can not build Xamarin.Mac applications with Visual Studio currently, I don't see how it would work at first glance.

On the font question, I'd start research by reading this:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/TextFonts/Conceptual/CocoaTextArchitecture/FontHandling/FontHandling.html

This documentation might help as well:

https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/mac/application_fundamentals/patterns/
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/mac/application_fundamentals/mac-apis/

You can also search for "Cocoa X" to see if somebody else has run into this as well.
