I've been fighting with this problem for hours... and I can't find what it is...
I'm just trying to localize the _Layout.cshtml file. Both the IStringLocalizer and the IHtmlLocalizer do not seem to find the Resource files.
I've followed and searched for: https://github.com/MormonJesus69420/SharedResourcesExample .Net Core Data Annotations - localization with shared resources https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=shared+resources+.net+core https://andrewlock.net/adding-localisation-to-an-asp-net-core-application/
There's something silly that I may be overlooking.
Here's my startup.cs:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;

using EduPlaTools.Services;
using System.Globalization;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Options;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Localization;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor;
using Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql;
using Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql.Infrastructure;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpOverrides;
namespace EduPlaTools
{
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
Configuration = configuration;
}
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// This is for string translation!
// Adds Localization Services (StringLocalizer, HtmlLocalizer, etc.)
// the opts.ResourcesPath = is the path in which the resources are found.
// In our case the folder is named Resources!
// There's specific and neutral resources. (Specific en-US). (Neutral: es)
/**
* If no ResourcesPath is specified, the view's resources will be expected to be next to the views.
* If ResourcesPath were set to "resources", then view resources would be expected to be ina Resource directory,
* in a path speicifc to their veiw (Resources/Views/Home/About.en.resx, for example).
*
* */
services.AddLocalization(opts => opts.ResourcesPath = "Resources");
// services.AddBContext
// There are subtle differences between the original and the modified version.
services.AddDbContextPool<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseMySql(Configuration.GetConnectionString("MySQLConnection"),
mysqlOptions =>
{
mysqlOptions.ServerVersion(new Version(8, 0, 12), ServerType.MySql); // replace with your Server Version and Type
}
));
//options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()
.AddDefaultTokenProviders();
// Add application services.
services.AddTransient<IEmailSender, EmailSender>();
services.AddMvc()
.AddViewLocalization(LanguageViewLocationExpanderFormat.Suffix, options => options.ResourcesPath = "Resources")
.AddDataAnnotationsLocalization();
}
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
// This may be dangerous and is not recommended
using (var serviceScope = app.ApplicationServices.GetRequiredService<IServiceScopeFactory>()
.CreateScope())
{
serviceScope.ServiceProvider.GetService<ApplicationDbContext>()
.Database.Migrate();
}
app.UseForwardedHeaders(new ForwardedHeadersOptions
{
ForwardedHeaders = ForwardedHeaders.XForwardedFor | ForwardedHeaders.XForwardedProto
});
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseBrowserLink();
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
app.UseDatabaseErrorPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
}
// These must line up with the ending of the .resx files.
// Example: SharedResources.en.resx, SharedResources.es.rex
// If you want to add specific, then do it like:
// new CultureInfo("en-US")
List<CultureInfo> supportedCultures = new List<CultureInfo>
{
new CultureInfo("es"),
new CultureInfo("en"),
new CultureInfo("es-ES"),
new CultureInfo("en-US")
};
// Registers the localization, and changes the localization per request.
app.UseRequestLocalization(new RequestLocalizationOptions
{
// We give the default support of Spanish.
DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture("es"),
// Format numbers, dates, etc.
SupportedCultures = supportedCultures,
// The strings that we have localized
SupportedUICultures = supportedCultures
});
// This will seed the databse:
SeedDatabase.Initialize(app.ApplicationServices);
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
}
}
}
Here's how I'm trying to call it inside the _Layout.cshtml:
@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Localization
@inject IViewLocalizer Localizer
@inject IStringLocalizer<SharedResources> SharedLocalizer
@inject IHtmlLocalizer<SharedResources> _localizer;
@SharedLocalizer["Menu_Home"]
Here's the directory structure:
Here are the contents of SharedResources.cs:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace EduPlaTools
{
/**
* This is a dummy class that is needed so Localization works.
* Now in .NET Core Localization works as a service, and implementsw
* naming conventions (AT the file level). Therefore, if the files do not
* implement the correct name, there's going to be problems.
*
* See an example, here:
* https://github.com/SteinTheRuler/ASP.NET-Core-Localization/blob/master/Resources/SharedResources.cs
*
* This is a workaround to create a Resource File that can be read by the entire
* application. It's left in blank so the convention over configuration
* picks it up.
*
* */
public class SharedResources
{
}
}
Here are the contents of the resx files:
I've also tried renaming them to no avail.. (Tried Resources.es.rex, Resources.rex)
I tried setting breakpoints to see how it behaved. It of course, didn't find the Resource files. I then compared it with Mormon's repo by recalling an inexistent key. I compared it with my output, but Mormon's repo doesn't display the "SearchedLocation" (Was it introduced in a later .NET Core version?)
Mormon's Repo:
My repo:
I know this may be something silly... But it's been close to 4 hours, and I can't stop since I have a LOT to do!!
Any ideas?
