Hello :) I am using the latest Build which includes support for creating a RESX files. (example: MainPage.resx)
This compiles into the project's dll which is then packaged into the apk file. All works as it should for the default language. Unfortunately, I am hitting a wall when it comes to getting a non-default language to work. Here is what I have done... After creating my default resx file, I made a copy of it and named it MainPage.it-IT.resx. During the build process this will compile and create an it-IT folder with the Italian resources.dll file, as it does with any other Silverlight app. After inspecting the contents of the apk file, I found that this non-default language file is not being included, and as a result I cannot get the alternate languages to function. (which makes sense given that it is not being included in the apk file) I'm not sure if there is something obvious I am missing or if there is a bug. Please let me know what you think, Ant -----Original Message----- From: monodroid-boun...@lists.ximian.com [mailto:monodroid-boun...@lists.ximian.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Pobst Sent: Monday, April 18, 2011 5:23 PM To: Discussions related to Mono for Android Cc: Anthony Ramirez Subject: Re: [mono-android] Resx Localization I verified that resx files work in Mono for Android, and added the VS template for the next version.
