    <p>I've used the Multilingual Toolkit to translate my app and have been testing it using pseudo-language. It works fine for strings I have translated in code (C#) but I can't work out how to make it so that the tag in XAML is automatically translated.</p> <p>I've been using <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh965329.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh965329.aspx</a> as a tutorial but I can't figure it out. I've also searched on Google but still no luck.</p> <p>For example, I created a "Watermark" text box (which inherits from <code>TextBox</code> which shows some text in by default it the user has not entered any text and the item does not have focus. The XAML looks like this (I replaced generic positioning stuff with '...'):</p> <pre><code>&lt;local:WatermarkTextbox x:Name="TitleTextBox" Watermark="MainPage_EnterATitle" ... Style="{StaticResource TextBoxStyle1}" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>As you can see it is setting a property called <code>Watermark</code> with a 'tag' of the resource name that is being translated using the Multilingual tool. I'm not sure how to get this to automatically translate.</p> <p>Another example is using the bottom app bar buttons:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Button x:Name="bottomAppBar_unpinFromStartButton" AutomationProperties.Name="MainPage_UnpinFromStart" Style="{StaticResource UnPinAppBarButtonStyle}" Click="bottomAppBar_unpinFromStartButton_Click"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>And I can see in the link above that it says:</p> <pre><code>MediumButton.[using:Windows.UI.Xaml.Automation]AutomationProperties.Name </code></pre> <p>But I'm not really sure where this is meant to go.</p> <p>Even with a button, which seems like it would be the simplest to translate I can't get it to work. The XAML is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Button x:Name="RemovePhotoButton" x:Uid="MainPage_RemovePhoto" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="222,0,974,78" Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="170" Height="45"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>But when ran in the app or viewed in the designed the button stays blank, with no text on it.</p> <p>The Resources are set up like this: </p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cQInX.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>And it is filling the translated documents fine:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/blGBM.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I am able to translate it in C# using the code from the link above, just not using XAML.</p> <p>Just wondering if anybody could help me out or point me in the right direction to solve this.</p> <p>Thanks</p>

    1. COnot sure I understand "tag in the XAML is automatically translated". The x:Uid is essentially a key looked up in the resource file and then you provide localized values for properties of interest - like Greeting.Text in the sample. Did the QuickStart you linked to not work for you? What error/behavior did you see with that specific example?

    2. COSorry for the confusion. I have updated the main post with some extra information that should hopefully clear things up.

    3. COLet's start with the simple case - the button - what does your resource file look like (contents and name/folder hierarchy)? It looks like it's not matching the current culture, so nothing is picked up.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
