Why This Library?

Traditional .NET localization with resource files requires ceremony and scattered configuration:

// Traditional approach - manual resource loading
ResourceManager rm = new("MyApp.Resources.Strings", typeof(Program).Assembly);
CultureInfo culture = new("pl-PL");
string translated = rm.GetString("HelloWorld", culture) ?? "Hello World";

With Lepo.i18n, localizations are registered once and consumed anywhere - including directly in XAML:

// Lepo.i18n with Dependency Injection
services.AddStringLocalizer(b =>
{
    b.SetCulture("pl-PL");
    b.FromResource<Translations>(new CultureInfo("pl-PL"));
    b.FromResource<Translations>(new CultureInfo("en-US"));
});


<TextBlock Text="{i18n:StringLocalizer 'Hello World'}" />

How to Use

1. Register Localizations

<details open> <summary><strong>WPF Application (without DI)</strong></summary>

public partial class App : Application
{
    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnStartup(e);

        this.UseStringLocalizer(b =>
        {
            b.SetCulture(new CultureInfo("pl-PL"));
            b.FromResource<Translations>(new CultureInfo("pl-PL"));
            b.FromResource<Translations>(new CultureInfo("en-US"));
        });
    }
}

</details>

<details> <summary><strong>Generic Host with Dependency Injection</strong></summary>

IHost host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder()
    .ConfigureServices((context, services) =>
    {
        services.AddStringLocalizer(b =>
        {
            b.SetCulture("pl-PL");
            b.FromResource<Translations>(new CultureInfo("pl-PL"));
            b.FromJson(assembly, "Resources.Translations-en.json", new CultureInfo("en-US"));
        });
    })
    .Build();

</details>

<details> <summary><strong>Loading from JSON files</strong></summary>

services.AddStringLocalizer(b =>
{
    b.SetCulture("en-US");
    b.FromJson(assembly, "Resources.en-US.json", new CultureInfo("en-US"));
    b.FromJson(assembly, "Resources.pl-PL.json", new CultureInfo("pl-PL"));
});

</details>

2. Localize in XAML

Add the i18n XML namespace and use the StringLocalizer markup extension:

<Window
    xmlns:i18n="http://schemas.lepo.co/i18n/2022/xaml">

    <StackPanel>
        
        <TextBlock Text="{i18n:StringLocalizer 'Hello World'}" />

        
        <TextBlock Text="{i18n:StringLocalizer 'Test {0}, of {1}!', Arg1='What?', Arg2='No'}" />

        
        <CheckBox Content="{i18n:StringLocalizer 'Enable notifications'}" />
    </StackPanel>
</Window>

3. Change Culture at Runtime

<details open> <summary><strong>WPF Application</strong></summary>

Application.Current.SetLocalizationCulture(new CultureInfo("en-US"));

</details>

<details> <summary><strong>With ILocalizationCultureManager (DI)</strong></summary>

public class SettingsViewModel(ILocalizationCultureManager cultureManager)
{
    public void SwitchToEnglish()
    {
        cultureManager.SetCulture("en-US");
    }
}

</details>
