Using LazZiya ExpressLocalization Nuget package to Localize web app
I have been trying to follow these two tutorials to add Localization to my .Net Core Razor web app.
http://ziyad.info/en/articles/36-Develop_Multi_Cultural_Web_Application_Using_ExpressLocalization
I have tried creating projects from scratch. I have tried adding to my existing projects. I have tried using the LocalizeTagHelper and SharedCultureLocalizer options without success.
I just cant get any text such as 'Home' or 'myApp' below to change.
When I select a language in my dropdown, the language is specified in the URL (See below), but my text just wont change.
Dropdown component & Home text x 2:

My Packages:
Index.cshtml
@page
@model IndexModel
@using LazZiya.ExpressLocalization
@inject ISharedCultureLocalizer _loc
@{
ViewData["Title"] = @_loc["myApp"];
}
<body>
<h1 class="display-4" localize-content>Home</h1>
<header>
<div class="bg-img">
<div class="container-title">
<div class="block-title block-title1">
<language-nav cookie-handler-url="@Url.Page("/Index", "SetCultureCookie", new { area="", cltr="{0}", returnUrl="{1}" })"></language-nav>

<div class="block-title block-title2 d-none d-md-block d-lg-block d-xl-block"><img src="/image/title_image.png" class="img-fluid"></div>

resx example
resx properties
My resx file had its Build Action property as 'Content' instead of 'Embedded Resource'. And my LocSource.cs had its Build Action property as 'Embedded Resource' instead of 'C# compiler'.
Really looking forward to using this package now, looks like it will make life much easier.
