Provides interfaces and classes to build translations for .NET projects. Translation repository is based on key-value structure.

• ITranslationHolder interface of object, that holds translated texts. It exposes TryGetTranslation method for getting text and OnChangeTranslations event.

• ILocalTextSource interface is base text provider. It exposes Value property that holds current translation. Classes that implement ILocalTextSource are also 'INotifyPropertyChanged' so Value property can be bind in visual models i.e. WPF.

  • LiteLocalTextSource: simple class, connected to ITranslationHolder that exposes single translated text. It reacts for language changes.

  • ParametricLocalTextSource: Allows to construct text similar to string.Format where format is connected to translation sources. It updates Value property each time translation or parameter (if implements INotifyPropertyChanged) is changed.

  • FormattedLocalTextSource: Similar to ParametricLocalTextSource but not react to parameters changing. It also provides default translation used when ITranslationHolder is not connected or doesn't contains tranlation for given key.

var mySrc = new FormattedLocalTextSource("Open {0}", "App.Translation.Open", description);

This creates mySrc object that excposes text calculated from "Open {0}" template and parameter from description variable. If translation holder is connected and it contains text for "App.Translation.Open" key then translation from holder is used instead of "Open {0}" template.

Assume we have AppTranslations with static field StrOk.

public static class AppTranslations {
  /// <summary>
  /// Text: O.K.
  /// </summary>
  public static readonly ILocalTextSource StrOk 
    = new LiteLocalTextSource("Common.Ok");
}

It's possible to bind TextBlock.Text property to Value property exposed by StrOk.

<TextBlock>
  <TextBlock.Text>
      <Binding Path="Value" Source="{x:Static app:AppTranslations.StrOk}" Mode="OneWay"/>
  </TextBlock.Text>
</TextBlock>

Nuget iSukces.Translation contains signed assemblies, but signing key is not privided in source repository. You can generate your own key or rid off signing.
