[wix-users] Localization in MBA

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.
http://ilspy.net/
http://snoopwpf.codeplex.com/

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' />

Subject: [wix-users] Localization in MBA

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,
