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.
