How to localize YesNo buttons of a ModernDialog

[4gn3s]

Hi, I have the following lines in my MainWindow constructor:

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("pl-PL");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("pl-PL");
FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(FrameworkElement), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag)));

However, when using

ModernDialog.ShowMessage("test text", "test title", MessageBoxButton.YesNo)

the YES and NO buttons are still in English- is it possible to translate those?

(When using a simple MessageBox.Show() instead, the buttons are translated fine)

Hm. I just added resource file for my language: and localization worked.

Where goes the resource file? Can you give me an example?

[sylveon]

A ressource file is here. It's named Resources.$LANGUAGE_CODE.resx

Copy Resources.resx as a file with the language you need, then edit the content, not the name, of the strings.

[SuricateCan]

I did that, but I must be doing something wrong. The buttons still have the original language.

I have created a resources file on the root of my application (tried with it on the Properties folder as well) and named Resources.pt.resx (tried Resources.pt-BR.resx too).

I've tried also forcing the culture of my application with the following code with no success:

var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("pt-BR");

            // Assigning our custom Culture to the application.                        
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;

            FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(FrameworkElement),
            new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag)));

Here is my resource file:

For now, you can't add ressources to MUI without having to manually compile it for your project or add a PR here.

[SuricateCan]

@charlesmilette Oh, that is the reason... It is unfortunate.

Its not just about the localization, but also the "lowercase" buttons.

But thanks, I'll compile the project with my localization.

If I figure a way of including a feature like this I'll post a PR.

[sylveon]

put it wherever you want in your solution, remove the reference to the original, then add your dll as a reference.
