Localize App Title for Windows Phone 8 App

I try to localize my app title for a windows phone 8 app. I used following documentation from microsoft:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff967550(v=vs.105).aspx#Loc_Download

I also created mui files for each language (de-DE, en-US, en-GB). On the root folder of my windows phone 8 project I add these files:

  • AppResLib.dll
  • AppResLib.dll.0407.mui
  • AppResLib.dll.0409.mui
  • AppResLib.dll.0809.mui

For each file I set the built action to content.

When I start the app and change the language of my phone, always the default language app title is shown. When I upload my xap file to a beta app in marktplace I get following validation errors:

  • 2002: The localized title for en-gb is missing or empty. Update your file and then try again.
  • 2002: The localized title for en-us is missing or empty. Update your file and then try again.
  • 2002: The localized title for de-DE is missing or empty. Update your file and then try again.
  • 2002: The localized title for de-de is missing or empty. Update your file and then try again.
  • 2000: Can’t open resource file: AppResLib.

Do you have any problems with localizate app title? Do everyone know, what I made wrong? I´m happy for every info.

Thanks!

Did you move the *.mui to the resource folder? and do you have .xlf files? - JP Hellemons

Looks like the AppTitle entry may be missing in AppResLib.rc file? Or Caption property value is not set?

One other thing to note, is that you need to update your title property in WMAppManifest.xml to something like

Title="@AppResLib.dll,-100"

and

<Title>@AppResLib.dll,-101</Title>

, where 100 and 101 are the values you use in AppResLib.rc.
