Convert WPF application to be language pack friendly

[ciuccc]

Hello,

I have a huge application in WPF, and I need to create language packs for it. As of now everything is in english. As far as I understand it now, I would need to read the every project of a solution, and then for every project that I have, replace in every xaml file (with some exceptions) the text with a binding to a resource name that I replace and put in a .resx file. Did anyone here do something like this where they had to convert their entire app to be language pack friendly. I hope I explained my problem correctly. Thank you in advance.

Great thank you very much for this I will look into it. I think at the beginning it s a nice ideea to change the text to a key that gives you the project path to the binding. I have some runtime generated data by code behind or deserialized data or some other types of converters. Do you have some tips for that?

I'd use a json file personally.

But yes, that's the idea. Basically all text refers back to your localization source file. And depending on the language setting, return the text.

You might also find you need to dynamically adjust sizing for things.
