Persilsoft.Localizer

A simple tool for Localization of projects

First, you need to create resource files. The name of each resource file must be follow the format:
{Extractor}.{Culture}.{resx}
Where:
Extractor: The name class to used to interact with the resource files, for example: Messages
Culture: The culture identifier, for example: en-US, es-PE
resx: This is the file extension for resource files

The following are some examples of resource file names:

• Messages.en-US.resx (English for USA)
• Messages.es-PE.resx (Spanish for Peru)

In each resource file create an entry with the same key but with the value according to the corresponding language, for example:

• Name: Message Value=Hello World!
• Name: Message Value=¡Hola Mundo!

Now, you need to create a class to access each key in the resource file. In the example, we are creating the class called Messages

using Persilsoft.Localizer;

public class Messages
{
    public static string Hello =>
        LocalizationUtils<Messages>.GetValue(nameof(Hello));
}

Now you can use it.

using System.Globalization;

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
Console.WriteLine(Messages.Hello);

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("es-PE");
Console.WriteLine(Messages.Hello);

In the case of AspNet Core application, you need to configure the Localization Middleware:

builder.Services.Configure<RequestLocalizationOptions>(options =>
{
    var SupportedCultures = new[] { "en-US", "es-PE" };
    var NeutralCulture = SupportedCultures[0];

    options.SetDefaultCulture(NeutralCulture)
    .AddSupportedCultures(SupportedCultures)
    .AddSupportedUICultures(SupportedCultures);
});

Then add the Localization pipeline:

app.UseRequestLocalization();

Finally, you can use it.

app.MapGet("/localizer/message", () =>
{
    return Results.Ok(Messages.Hello);
})
.WithName("Localizer");
