Globalization & Localization in .NET 6

Introduction

Globalization is the process of designing and developing applications that function for multiple cultures.

Localization is the process of customizing your application for a given culture and locale.

Cultures and Locales

The language needs to be associated with the particular region where it is spoken, and this is done by using locale (language + location). For example: fr is the code for French language. fr-FR means French language in France. So, fr specifies only the language whereas fr-FR is the locale. Similarly, fr-CA defines another locale implying French language and culture in Canada. If we use only fr, it implies a neutral culture (i.e., location neutral).

Prerequisites

1. Visual Studio 2022 any edition.
2. .NET 6SDK.

Resource Files

1. A resource file is an XML file that contains the strings that you want to translate into different languages or paths to images.
2. The resource file contains key/value pairs. Each pair is an individual resource. Key names are not case sensitive.

e.g. A resource file might contain a resource with the key Button1 and the value Submit
Resource files in ASP. NET have an .resx extension. At run time, the .resx file is compiled into an assembly.
