I have Portable class library, where I have resx files containing localization strings (Resources.resx, Resources.en.resx, Resources.de.resx ). Then I use this resources in the PCL LocalizationViewModel in this way :
public string SettingsLogin
{
get { return Resources.Settings_Login; }
}
Language switching code looks like following :
In PCL
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(lang);
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(lang);
Resources.Culture = new CultureInfo(lang);
In Win8.1 app
Windows.Globalization.ApplicationLanguages.PrimaryLanguageOverride = lang;
Strings from LocalizationViewModel are consumed in Win8.1 application and it works pretty good, change of the language in the runtime as well.
Problem occurs, when I create App package and install application. When I run installed application, language switch is not working.
In resx files, I use embedded resource build action and I tried all combination of the build action and the "copy to output directory" setting.
