Localization in .NET MAUI Kanban (SfKanban)

Localization is the process of translating the application resources into different language for the specific cultures. The SfKanban can be localized by adding resource file.

Setting CurrentUICulture to the application

Application culture can be changed by setting CurrentUICulture. in App.xaml.cs file.

App.xaml.cs

using Syncfusion.Maui.Kanban;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Resources;

public partial class App : Application
{
	public App()
	{
            InitializeComponent();
            CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");
            // ResXPath => Full path of the resx file; For example : 
            // SfKanbanResources.ResourceManager = new ResourceManager
            // ("KanbanSample.Resources.SfKanban", Application.Current.GetType().Assembly);

            var ResXPath = "KanbanSample.Resources.SfKanban";
            SfKanbanResources.ResourceManager = new ResourceManager(ResXPath, Application.Current.GetType().Assembly);
            MainPage = new AppShell();
	}
}

NOTE

The required resx files with Build Action as EmbeddedResource (File name should contain culture code) into the Resources folder.

Localize application level

To localize the Kanban based on CurrentUICulture using resource files, follow the below steps.

1. Right-click on the Resources folder, select Add and then NewItem.

2. In Add New Item, select the Resource File option and name the filename as SfKanban.<culture name>.resx. For example, give the name as SfKanban.fr-FR.resx for French culture.

3. The culture name indicates the name of the language and country.

1. Now, select Add option to add the resource file in Resources folder.

1. Add the Name/Value pair in Resource Designer of SfKanban.fr-FR.resx file and change its corresponding value to corresponding culture.

Here, you can see how localization was performed for the Items and Min.
