Angular is a frontend development framework used for building single-page client applications using HTML and Typescript. It is written in Typescript.

Create a new WPF application and give an appropriate name to it.

After creating a new WPF application install package for localization extension. We can browse packages from Manage NuGet Packages for the solution. Search "WPFLocalizeExtension" and install it. Or we can add a package using Package Manager Console. Type this in console "Install-Package WpfLocalizeExtension -Version 3.8.0".

Now Create a Resource file for translating data from one language to another. There is one resource file already available in the project. To add new resource file right click on Properties >> Add >> Add new item >> Resource File.

Filename must be like Resources.en-US.resx it follows naming convention specific to Language and country or reign. It can be found on this reference “https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-lcid/a9eac961-e77d-41a6-90a5-ce1a8b0cdb9c?redirectedfrom=MSDN”.After creating the resource file add string and value which will be used in the project and change access modifier to Public from Internal.

Now add the namespace in our XAML file to use the localization and set properties to controls.

Let's understand Localization by Example

We will be going to create a simple login window with labels, text boxes, and buttons. We will use localization so first we will install the package and create two resource files for the Italian and Japanese languages.

After installing package, we will create resource files. Below files are for Italian, Japanese. And in default file we will be adding content for English.

Now we will add namespace like “xmlns:p="clr-namespace:Localization.Properties" in Xaml file to access localization. Now set properties to the controls like for label of the password we will set content= “{x: Static p: Resources. Password} ". We will be going to use strings that we have defined in *.resx file. Below code is a Xaml file in which we have done all described thing here.

By default, the default resource file will be used. We can change/translate our application to Japanese or Italian by setting culture explicitly when an application will run in our App.xaml.cs file.

As shown below we can add Japanese and Italian languages that we have defined in our Resources.it-IT.resx and Resources.ja-JP.resx file. Here when we run the application Italian language’s resource file, it is set in culture so that the Italian login window will display.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks ;
using System.Windows;

namespace Localization
{
    
    public partial class App : Application
    {
        App ()
        {
            System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("it-IT");
           // System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ja-JP");
        }
    }
}

When we run this application, the Italian language will display because we have set culture to the Italian resource file as shown above.

Output:
