Jeek.Avalonia.Localization

Avalonia string localization support.

• Switch language at runtime.
• Customizable language file format and location.
• Simple interface, simple implementation.

Usage

• Json language file Languages\en.json:

{
  "Welcome": "Welcome to Avalonia!"
}

• Load language files:

Localizer.SetLocalizer(new JsonLocalizer());

• Use localized string in .axaml:

<Window
  xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
  xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
  xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
  xmlns:l="using:Jeek.Avalonia.Localization"
  mc:Ignorable="d"
  d:DesignWidth="800"
  d:DesignHeight="450"
  x:Class="Jeek.Avalonia.Localization.Example.MainWindow"
  Title="Jeek.Avalonia.Localization.Example"
>
    <StackPanel>

        <!-- Get the string with key Welcome -->
        <Label Content="{l:Localize Welcome}" />

    </StackPanel>
</Window>

• Switch language:

Localizer.Language = "en";

• Get localized string in code:

Localizer.Get("Welcome");

Origin

• I found Localizing using ResX | Avalonia Docs (avaloniaui.net) in Avalonia website. It's static and can't switch language at runtime.
• Then I found this article: Avalonia UI Framework localization | Sakya's Homepage, and learn much from it. Finally I created my own version, more simple and flexible.
