How to add an I18N support to setup file made by the MSIX Packaging Toolkit

Could someone answer my question, please? MSIX Packaging Toolkit creates a MSIX file, but with one language in the manifest. Is there a way to add a few other languages?

Solution

  • MSDN has a thorough explanation here: Using MRT for converted Desktop apps and games.

    In a nutshell:

    1. Create a bunch of XML files with your localized resources in them.
    2. Change your manifest to use ms-resource:/// strings instead of literal strings.

    If you're using the Packaging Project then it should do all the work for you (no need to run all those command-line examples in the MSDN doc).
