Description

If I run app in debug mode dotnet build -t:Run -f:net6.0-android it doesn't show translated message. For dotnet build -t:Run -f:net6.0-android -c:Release it does.
Project to reproduce - https://github.com/nevse/Maui-Tests-Localization1

Steps to Reproduce

1. create app dotnet new maui -n HumanaizerTests
2. add references

<ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="Humanizer.Core" Version="2.14.1" />
        <PackageReference Include="Humanizer.Core.de" Version="2.14.1" /> 
</ItemGroup>

3. change culture to de and use Humanizer to read data localization resources

CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("de");

CounterLabel.Text = DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(-2).Humanize();

4. run the app in debug dotnet build -t:Run -f net6.0-android and release mode dotnet build -t:Run -f:net6.0-android -c:Release

Hello, we are developing DevExpress .NET MAUI controls and experienced the same issue. This issue has a Normal priority for us but we don't have a workaround. Thank you for your help.

We will reassess the backlog following the current release and consider this item at that time.

Hello,
Any update ?
In #2012, @jonathanpeppers said it should "just work" in .net6.
However, it still does not look like it works on maui, neither with .net6 nor .net7, right ?

#2012 is very old, I wouldn't focus on that.

This is the first I've seen this issue for .NET 6+, I'll try the sample above.

My guess is the Humanizer library is doing something to cause this issue, but I will check.

I think @dellis1972 is going to look into this one.

I've been investigating, the localised assemblies (*.resources.dll) are NOT beiing fast deployed to the device.
I still need to narrow down the "why" part of this. I'll post updates as I find out more.

[tranb3r]

It's not really fun watching you guys close old tickets and open new ones for the same issue.
The same question remains, are you going to fix it ?
The original issue is more than 4 year old !!

@tranb3r

The issue was transfered, not closed. The maui team are not equipt to investigate/fix android specific issues, and this one was identified as android specific, so it has been transfered to the correct rep.

As I said in the previous issue

I've been investigating, the localised assemblies (*.resources.dll) are NOT beiing fast deployed to the device.
I still need to narrow down the "why" part of this. I'll post updates as I find out more.

My investigation has so far discovered that localisation does work for the standard resx senarios (we have tests for that). In this case Humanizer does something different. It publishes its localized assemblies in seperate NuGet packages, so the assemblies do not end up in the correct ItemGroup (@(ResolvedSatellitePaths)). This kinda messes up our fast deployment system which detects localized resources. As a result these files are not picked up, I am looking a ways we can support humanizer in our software at this moment.

@jonpryor
Could you please add a link to the PR or explain in which version this fix will be fixed?

[jonathanpeppers]

It is in a private repo, so you won't be able to see it:

Currently testing if we can backport at: #7741
