Tutorial

Usage

Create your resx files in your solution. For example if your applications default language is English, create a Translations.en.resx file, which contains the english translations, and if you want to support Hungarian language, you need to create a Translations.hu.resx file, which will contain the hungarian key value pairs. You can add different resx files, also from different assembly. Just call the UseResource when initalizing the plugin multiple times.

Usage in cs files: Inject or resolve an ITranslator instance from the dependency continaer.

public string Foo()
{
	// Get the currently set culture
	if(translator.CurrentCulture.Name != "English")
		// Set the culture by calling SetCurrentCulture
		translator.SetCurrentCulture(new CultureInfo("en"));
	
	// Get the translation from resources
	return translator.GetTranslation("The_Translation_Key")
}

Usage in XAML files: Start using translations in your XAML by adding reference to the clr-namespace and using the markup extension:

xmlns:multilanguage="clr-namespace:banditoth.MAUI.Multilanguage"

Whenever you need a translation, you can use:

<Label IsVisible="True"
       Text="{multilanguage:Translation Key=TranslationKey}"/>

Initalization

Initalize the plugin within your MauiProgram.cs's CreateMauiApp method. Use the .ConfigureMultilanguage extension method with the using banditoth.MAUI.Multilanguage;

		public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
		{
			var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
			builder
				.UseMauiApp<App>()
				.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
				{
					fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
					fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
				})
				.ConfigureMultilanguage(config =>
				{
					// Set the source of the translations
					// You can use multiple resource managers by calling UseResource multiple times.
					config.UseResource(YourAppResource.ResourceManager);
					config.UseResource(YourAnotherAppResource.ResourceManager);

					// If the app is not storing last used culture, this culture will be used by default
					config.UseDefaultCulture(new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"));

					// Determines whether the app should store the last used culture
					config.StoreLastUsedCulture(true);

					// Determines whether the app should throw an exception if a translation is not found.
					config.ThrowExceptionIfTranslationNotFound(false);

					// You can set custom translation not found text by calling this method 
					config.SetTranslationNotFoundText("Transl_Not_Found:", appendTranslationKey: true);
				});

			return builder.Build();
		}
