Oleander.StrResGen.SingleFileGenerator is a Visual Studio extension for easily creating culture-specific string resources. You can use text files with the extension ".strings" to store string resources.
Examples:
- Create a new text file named SR.strings
- In the Properties window, set the Custom Tool attribute to SRG.
- Add the following lines and save the file
[strings]
Test(string s)=Test {0}
Raw = Raw string
StringArg(string name) = With name argument {0}
NumberArgs(int name2, decimal amount, float chanceOfWinning) = Integer {0}, Amount {1:C}, Change {2}%
MultiLineWithArgs(int age, string name) = My age is {0}
= My name is {0}
[strings.de]
Raw = German raw string
StringArg(string name) = German with name argument {0}
[strings.de-DE]
Raw = Germany raw string
StringArg(string name) = Germany with name argument {0}
The files SR.cs, SR.srt.resx, SR.srt.de.resx and SR.srt.de-DE.resx should be created.
Access to the resources:
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
var rawText = SR.Raw; // Germany raw string
var stringArg = SR.StringArg("Bob"); // Germany with name argument Bob
