.resw Localization can't correctly work

[DJDQfff]

I want to use the localization words with .resw files, but met an error.

In XAML:

    <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
        <TextBlock Loaded="TextBlock_Loaded" />
        <TextBlock x:Uid="String2" />
        <TextBlock x:Uid="/Resources/String2"/>
    </StackPanel>

Platforms:

• WinUI: the first, third TextBlock can't work.
• WASM: the first, TextBlock can't work.

In XAML:

    <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
        <TextBlock Loaded="TextBlock_Loaded" />
        <TextBlock x:Uid="String2" />
<TextBlock x:Uid="/Resources/String2"/>
    </StackPanel>

In he first TextBlock can' t work , the methos Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.ResourceLoader.GetForViewIndependentUse().GetString("String1") return an empty string.

The second TextBlock can work .

The third TextBlock can't work. I added more .resw files, use x:Uid=/Resources2/string3 also doesn't work

Thanks for the report. Could you attach a repro sample that shows what you're trying to do? Thanks!

Thanks. Localization from XAML from a separate project file using a non-default resource file name requires prefixing with the x:Uid with the assembly name:

<TextBlock x:Uid="/LocializationTest/Resources1/String1" />

Is it possible to use same resource for different elements e.g Button and TextBlock ? Since i have to add a property to a Resource in one case it will be TestString.Content and other TestString.Text would be nice if it worked without providing properties e.g just "TestString"

This is not a behavior that WinUI provides. The names of the resources need to match the property name they're bound to.
