[wix-users] Localization in MBA

[Huy Doan]

Excellent Phill. Thank you so much for the help. The only problem I had was I didn't include those .resource.dll files as Payloads in the bundle. You saved my two days of debugging.

Yes, or rather burn does not do anything that would prevent you from localizing your mba using resx files (or other methods).  I use resx files for 15 locales in my mba.  I use another MarkupExtension but the following link should help you out.


I also use these in my AssemblyInfo.cs, but depending on the aproach you take below you might want to do something else.

[assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguage("en", UltimateResourceFallbackLocation.MainAssembly)]
[assembly: ThemeInfo(ResourceDictionaryLocation.None, ResourceDictionaryLocation.SourceAssembly)]


Look at this:

This link has a lot of good information, including the above link

I found that these tools were helpful in sorting our resource loading issues.

And then add the resource dlls to you bundle as a payload group for your BootstrapperApplication using the localized folder name as used in the name of the resx.  .Net uses two letter lang-region codes.
      <Payload Name='de\MyMba.resources.dll' SourceFile='!(bindpath.MyMba)\de\MyMba.resources.dll' />
       <Payload Name='en-AU\MyMba.resources.dll' SourceFile='!(bindpath.MyMba)\en-AU\MyMba.resources.dll' />

Hello,

I have built an MBA and now want to localize the UI. I use WPF for the UI. I have tried some tutorials online to localize the WPF UI using .resx files. However, for some reasons it just doesn't work. I wonder if burn supports localization and if there is any examples for me to follow.

Thanks,
