[WiX-users] MBA localization

[Phill Hogland]

I have a MBA which I am trying to localize.  The MBA is structured like WixBA
in the Wix source.  The MBA has been functional until I tried to add
localization.  I installed the WPFLocalizationExtension and followed samples
from that site (https://wpflocalizeextension.codeplex.com/).  I am having a
problem which I described here:
https://wpflocalizeextension.codeplex.com/discussions/461709

I have not heard back on those posts so maybe someone here can provide
advice.

To boil it all down if I use the x:Static syntax then at runtime the
localized string is properly displayed.   But when using
WPFLocalizationExtension one should use the lex:loc syntax, which does not
work for me at runtime but does work in the 'design view'.

Additionally if I set the following code on a TextBlock element
Text="{lex:Loc Key=MyKey, Assembly=MyAssembly, Dict=Resources,
ForceCulture=de }"

The correct localized string is displayed.  But if I do

Text="{lex:Loc Key=MyKey, Assembly=MyAssembly, Dict=Resources }"

It always displays the 'neutral' string rather than localized string for the
OS I am running on.  But it is finding the 'neutral' string.

However the following does display the localized string for the culture set
on the test system.
Text="{x:Static props:Resources.QumuProduct}"  (where props: is the
application.properties)

I do have code in the ModelView which sets the XmlLanguage attribute based
on the threads currentUIculture.

Any advice would be appreciated.

[WiX-users] MBA localization

[Phill Hogland]

I have a MBA which I modeled after the Wix installer code.  I am trying to
add localization to it.  I did a lot of reading on different approaches and
then installed NuGit and WPFLocalizationExtension.
http://wpflocalizeextension.codeplex.com/

I have this implemented like the sample that is at that site.  It builds all
of my satellite resource dlls, which are then imported into the bundle. 
When I look at the \.ba1 folder the expected file tree exists. 
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

However at runtime that strings are from the 'neutral' string dictionary.  I
have tested this on a fully localized Win 8 German and fully localized
English.  I have also tried adding code to the MBA to set the threads
Culture.  And I tried to set the xml:Lang of the RootView.xaml without
success.

I realize that this not a purely Wix question, but any pointers in solving
this issue would be appreciated.  How does one 'debug' XAML?
