copied!<p>Follow these steps:</p> <p><strong>1)</strong> Place all <code>String</code> fragments in a separate resource file. </p> <p>Example: <code>StringResources.xaml</code>:</p> <pre><code><ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:system="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">  <system:String x:Key="All_Vehicles">All Vehicles</system:String> </ResourceDictionary> </code></pre> <p><strong>2)</strong> Make copies for each language and add them (translated) to the merged dictionaries. Don't forget to add the country's ISO code to make things easier.</p> <p>Example <code>App.xaml</code>:</p> <pre><code><Application x:Class="WpfStringTables.App" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" StartupUri="Window1.xaml"> <Application.Resources> <ResourceDictionary > <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="StringResources.de-DE.xaml" /> <ResourceDictionary Source="StringResources.nl-NL.xaml" /> <ResourceDictionary Source="StringResources.xaml" /> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> </ResourceDictionary> </Application.Resources> </Application> </code></pre> <p>The last resource file with strings will be used to replace text parts in code.</p> <p><strong>3a)</strong> Use the text parts from the <code>String</code> table:</p> <p>Example <code>Window1.xaml</code>:</p> <pre><code><Window x:Class="WpfStringTables.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"> <Grid> <Button Margin="51,82,108,129" Name="AllVehiclesButton" Content="{StaticResource All_Vehicles}"/> </Grid> </Window> </code></pre> <p><strong>3b)</strong> Load the resource from code (Only use this code if you don't want to set via <code>XAML</code>):</p> <pre><code>void PageLoad() { string str = FindResource("All_Vehicles").ToString(); } </code></pre> <p><strong>4)</strong> Switch to new culture at start of application:</p> <p>Codesnippet from <code>App.xaml.cs</code>:</p> <pre><code>public static void SelectCulture(string culture) { if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(culture)) return; //Copy all MergedDictionarys into a auxiliar list. var dictionaryList = Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.ToList(); //Search for the specified culture. string requestedCulture = string.Format("StringResources.{0}.xaml", culture); var resourceDictionary = dictionaryList. FirstOrDefault(d => d.Source.OriginalString == requestedCulture); if (resourceDictionary == null) { //If not found, select our default language. requestedCulture = "StringResources.xaml"; resourceDictionary = dictionaryList. FirstOrDefault(d => d.Source.OriginalString == requestedCulture); } //If we have the requested resource, remove it from the list and place at the end. //Then this language will be our string table to use. if (resourceDictionary != null) { Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Remove(resourceDictionary); Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(resourceDictionary); } //Inform the threads of the new culture. Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(culture); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(culture); } </code></pre>
