Two Resource Files

Two resource files for each culture:

Some localized resources are fixed for all projects (e.g.: Data annotations errors, identity errors, model binding errors). So, it can be useful to have separate resource file for these framework messages, and another resource file for views.

• Create empty class for framework messages under LocalizationResources folder and name it: LocSourceData.cs

public class LocSourceData
{
}

• Create empty class for views localization under LocalizationResources folder and name it: LocSourceViews.cs

public class LocSourceViews
{
}

• Setup ExpressLocalization to use two resource files:

services.AddRazorPages()
    .AddExpressLocalization<LocSourceData, LocSourceViews>(ops => 
    {
        /* Add options here*/
    });

Notice: the above code demonstrats only the differentiated part for localizing with two resource files, the rest of the code must be done as described in Setup for Razor Pages

• Create two resource files for each culture in the same folder for our dummy classes:
  • Turkish culture:
    • LocSourceData.tr.resx
    • LocSourceViews.tr.resx
  • Arabic culture:
    • LocSourceData.ar.resx
    • LocSourceViews.ar.resx

Applies to ExpressLocalization versions:

4.0, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, 1.0
