Usage Examples

Code-Behind

var localizer = services.GetRequiredService<MyViewModelLocalized>();

// Simple string property
Console.WriteLine(localizer.Welcome);

// Format string method
Console.WriteLine(localizer.UserGreetingFormat("Allan", "MyApp"));
// Output: Hello Allan, welcome to MyApp!

XAML Binding (MAUI)

<Label Text="{Binding Localizer.Welcome}" />

Blazor / Razor

@inject MyViewModelLocalized Localizer

<h1>@Localizer.Welcome</h1>
<p>@Localizer.UserGreetingFormat(User.Name, "MyApp")</p>

Raw Localizer Access

The generated class exposes the underlying IStringLocalizer for edge cases:

// Dynamic key lookup when you need it
var value = localizer.Localizer["SomeDynamicKey"];

Configuration

Generate classes with internal instead of public access:

<PropertyGroup>
    <GenerateLocalizersInternal>True</GenerateLocalizersInternal>
</PropertyGroup>
