I have a view displaying a form. And labels of textbox comes from model for which I used " "and it works well and gives the value but now I want to implement localization with label, I tried something like this

<label asp-for="@localizer[@Model]" class=" control-label form-label ">

which doesn't give me values. Can anyone suggest how to solve this?

<label asp-for="@localizer[@Model]" class=" control-label form-label "> 
</label>

Answer 1

The asp-for attribute is meant to contain the name of a C# property present in your page's model, and is not meant to contain a string to be displayed.

For example :

public class MyPageModel
{
    public string Email {get;set;}
}

View:

@model MyPageModel
<label asp-for="Email"></label>

This will display the content of the MyPageModel.Email property that you pass in your controller. Therefore, it doesn't really make sense to pass a localized string in asp-for.

To complete your example, I'll assume that your @Model variable is a string. You could use this:

@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Localization
@inject IViewLocalizer Localizer
<label>@Localizer[@Model]</label>
