Application resources and localization sample

This sample shows how to use application resources to separate localizable content from app code.

The sample uses the Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.Core and Windows.Globalization namespaces, and WinJS.Resources.

We encourage you to separate your resources, such as strings and files, from your app code, so you can maintain and alter your resources independently. You can use Application Resources APIs to tailor your apps to a variety of device, system, and user configurations. Resources enable apps to be localized into multiple languages, customized for various device DPIs and form factors, and tailored for specific types of users.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2015 to build and Windows 10 to execute.

To obtain information about Windows 10 development, go to the Windows Dev Center

To obtain information about Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and the tools for developing Windows apps, go to Visual Studio 2015
