Rasyidf Localization

Fast and simple localization framework for wpf. allow dynamic loading and multiple language pack.

Getting Started

Installation

To use this framework. add nuget package:

Install-Package Rasyidf.Localization

Then register the the services on App.cs

    public partial class App : Application
    {
        protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnStartup(e);
            // set the language packs folder and default language
            LocalizationService.Current.Initialize("Assets", "en-US");
        }
        ...

Usage

after installing and loading th assembly, add namespace in the xaml

xmlns:rf="https://rasyidf.github.io/Rasyidf.Localization"

All set, now you can implement Binding in any XAML like this:

Bind like this

<MenuItem Header="{rf:Tr File, Uid=11}"/>

Or this

<TextBlock Text="{rf:Tr Default='Default Hello World', Uid=11}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{rf:Tr FallBackText, Uid=12}"/>

Or this, with Format String

<TextBlock>
    <Run>
        <rf:Tr Uid="24" Default="Language : {0}, Count : {1} ">
            <Binding FallbackValue="en-US" Mode="OneWay"
                Path="CurrentLanguage" />
            <Binding FallbackValue="0" Mode="OneWay"
                Path="LanguageCount" />
        </rf:Tr>
    </Run>
</TextBlock>

in code, you can consume directly by using :

MessageBox.Show(LocalizationService.GetString("511", "Text", "Default Message"),LocalizationService.GetString("511", "Header","Default Title"));

another way is to use String extension. "[uid],[vid]".Localize("[Default]")

MessageBox.Show("511,Text".Localize("Default Message"),("511,Header").Localize("Default Title"));

Language Packs

The Language Pack can be XML or JSON like below, put in the language folder:

Version 0.5 support some additional metadata (AppId, Author, Type, Version) planned for future version.

XML Language Pack

<Pack Version="0.5" AppId="YourAppId" Author="Rasyid" EnglishName="English" CultureName="English" Culture="en-US">
  <Value Id="0" Header="Window Title" />
  <Value Id="11" Header="File" />
  <Value Id="110" Header="Exit"  /> 
  ...
  <Value Id="511" Header="Hello Wold" Text="This Is message String" />
</Pack>

JSON Language Pack

Version 0.5 Support Json Multilingual Package.

Single Language Pack

{   "AppId" : "YourAppId",
    "Version" : "0.5", "Type" : "Single", 
    "EnglishName": "Indonesian", "CultureName": "Bahasa Indonesia",
    "Culture": "id-ID",
    "Data": [ 
    { "Id": 0, "Header": "Judul Jendela" }, 
    { "Id": 11, "Header": "Berkas" }, 
    { "Id": 110, "Header": "Keluar" }
    ]
}

  "AppId": "",
  "Version": "0.5",
  "Type": "Multi",
  "Author": "Rasyid",
  "Languages": [
    {
      "CultureId": "en-US"  
    },
    {
      "CultureId": "de-DE" 
    }
  ],

  "Data": [
    {
      "data": [
        {
          "Id": 0,
          "Text": {
            "en-US": "Hello", "de-DE": "Hallo"
          }
        }, 
      ]
