🛠️ How to Use Lepo i18n

1. Read localizations

In this step, we register our localizations in the DI container.

IHost host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder()
  .ConfigureServices((context, services) =>
    {
      services.AddStringLocalizer(b =>
      {
        b.FromResource<Translations>(new("pl-PL"));
        b.FromYaml(assembly, "Lepo.i18n.Resources.Translations-en.yaml", new("en-US"));
      });
    }
  )
  .Build();

2. Localize!

<Grid>
  <CheckBox
    Grid.Row="1"
    Content="{i18n:StringLocalizer 'Leave the keys that were pressed marked.'}"
    IsChecked="{Binding ViewModel.PreviewKeys, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</Grid>
