ASP.NET Core Localization Sample

The example contains localization in these topics:

• Display Attribute localization
• Validation Attributes localization
• Model Binding errors localization
• Using a Shared resource for Views and Controllers
• Allowing user to change culture at run-time
• Applying direction (rtl/ltr) based on the selected culture

The example is ready to run, you can get it and run it to see the result. Based on seleted culture from language menu, you can see localized content and validation messages for application. I've created this example as an additional resource for the answer of this question in stackoverflow: ASP.NET Core Model Binding Error Messages Localization.

Version

The repository contains two projects for these versions:

• VS 2015, ASP.NET Core 1.1
• VS 2017, ASP.NET Core 2.0

Note

You may want to pay attention to these parts of the project for settings:

• ConfigureServices and Configure method in Startup.cs for localization condigurations. Here we enable localization and also provide localization for framework model binding error messages. Also here we introduce cultures which the application suppports.
• _Layout.cshtml file which we added Language menu and localized menu.
• _ViewImports.cshtml and the way we injected a shared localizer to use a Shared.xx.resx in all views.
• Resources folder which contains resx files.
• SampleModel class which annotated by data annotations attribute.
• SetCulture action in Home controller which we used to set culture.
• About.cshtml and Index.cshtml to see the way which we used SR which is injected in _ViewImports.
