Xamarin.Mac - XMLocalizationSample

  • Code Sample
Browse code

This sample shows two methods for localization your Xamarin.Mac application:

  • .resx files
  • Storyboard string files.

Due to bug https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=45696, where resx file localization is not being handled correctly during builds, custom MSBuild has been added to make things work. See CustomBuildActions.targets for details.
