How to translate Universal Windows 10 (UWP) app using XAML?

  • 772

I am unable to implement translation in the Windows 10 Universal (UWP) apps.

I have created a folder and created the .resw resource file, with the following structure Resources/es-ES/Resources.resw inside Resources.resw I only have String1 with the value "Hello World" and in the XAML template I indicate the loading of the resource with x:Uid <TextBlock x:Uid="String1" text="hi" /> But when I compile the text it shows hi , which is the one specified initially, as I can show Hello World , the device language is already specified in Spanish from Spain, that is, use "es-ES"

xaml

    The translation of resources in universal windows 10 applications (UWP), in the identifier of the translation resource, in addition to specifying an identifier, you must specify which property it will affect, that is, if the recipient is a user, textblockto change the text it is required to modify the property text, so inside Resources.resw idRecurso.Textand the value to replace.

    Resources.resw

    helloWorld.Text => Hola mundo

    In the XAML layout, the relationship with the resource must be specified with x:Uid:

    <TextBlock x:Uid="helloWorld" />
