It would be great to have samples for more than just UWP and WPF. Other technologies also need to do localization:

• .net core
• ASP.net
• Blazor
• WinUI
• ...

We are using the Microsoft multilingual toolkit for translation, the language Norwegian (nn-NO) is not supported i.e. the labels, error, messages etc. are not getting translated to Norwegian (nn-NO) language.

1> The Microsoft Translator provider credentials were not found. Microsoft Translator provider requires an active Azure subscription, for which you may supply the key. In the editor, go to File | Settings to configure this provider. In the extension, go to Tools | Options | Multilingual App Toolkit to configure this provider.

Nothing has been configured. Maybe from the past but I don't use it anymore. Nothing to see if there was something configured now or in the past.

Also where do I find this: "In the extension, go to Tools | Options | Multilingual App Toolkit to configure this provider. "

Each time I add a language or run the editor I get this message. Where is it configured? as it seems to fail because it is unavailable...

app just closed while working in it.

I've recently updated Visual Studio 2022 to 17.7.3.

.net 7.0 library doesn't seem to build/update my .resx files anymore.

output gives me:

I tried to disable and enable MAT on the project but doesn't seem to work.

double clicking on xlf file opens the file but VS gives also this:

(P.S.: aka.ms/matTypeHelp doesn't work and redirects to https://www.bing.com/?ref=aka&shorturl=matTypeHelp )

At MAT versions v4.0.6901 and prior, we were able to add new languages to projects that use the newer SDK style csproj format but target .NET Framework and WPF. Later versions of MAT no longer allow for the 'Enable Selection' or adding translation languages to existing MAT enabled projects that use this particular combination in the csproj. Tooling inside of Visual Studio 2019 & 2022 now supports this configuration well, however MAT does not.

Sample project with MAT enabled that works with v4.0.6901 but does not work with v4.0.6921 or v4.1.1 to add translation languages.
Sample Project

Steps to Reproduce:
Clone repository
Open solution
Right-click on project, hover over Multilingual App Toolkit menu item

Expected:
Add translation and other options are enabled

Actual:
All options are disabled

Affected Versions:
v4.0.6921+, v4.1.1

Please add these two languages Haitian Creole [ht] and Hmong Daw (Latin) [mww] to MAT? They are available in Cognitive Services https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/translator/language-support.

Meanwhile, can you tell us how to go about adding these languages manually?

Anybody meets the same trouble with me?
I have tried update several build agents with the latest extension, v4.1.1, but seems always fails.

Any suggestion?

Looking to use this with a Blazor Server project to create translations. Is there a work around to get this to work?

After learning how to use the toolkit, as many articles state, what I have done in the past is to put all the resources for a solution in a DLL assembly for reuse by any project. When I tried to Enable selection, I got the following message:

Project 'Globalization.Resources' was not enabled - it is not a supported project type.

Why can't I use the toolkit in a DLL? This is a great tool, but I cannot use it for projects like this.

I'm currently experiencing a compile-time error in one of my RESX files:

Microsoft.Multilingual.ResxResources.targets(32,5): error : Convert file [...]/Pref_Gui.resx to XLIFF format failed. Message:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

There's no indication of what line the error occurred on (besides the targets file its self) or what the offending string of text was. It would be nice to have more details in errors like this. Here's the exact file it's occurring in.

Thank you!

There seems to be an issue present as of the Multilingual App Toolkit v4.2.1: when a TableLayoutPanel is in a Localizable form, the LayoutSettings property is stored in the Resource file with an XML header inside it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

This causes the MAT to fail on build, with the error:

Convert file [file].resx to XLIFF format failed. Message:Unsupported processing instruction '?xml' found during encoding. Please remove unsupported processing instructions from the xml.

The offending line(s) can be removed from the Resource file, but future builds/project loads will cause the line to be automatically reinserted and trigger the error again.

See also:

During the installation of Version 4.1.12.0 the setup asks if you agree with Telemetry (checked by default).

I agreed, so thought that Telemetry was enabled.

If you go to File > About > Telemetry Options > you don't see which Setting was selected. "Agree" or "Decline" is not checked. (even not when run under administrator privs).

The chosen setting should reflect in the user interface! Now you just see this:

I have run in to an issue where the MAT editor throws a runtime issue.

I have verified that the MAT Editor does have access to the internet. I have also verified the key and api link in the settings.

I found that if I clear all of the settings for the Microsoft Translator, i.e, the Subscription Key, Region, and Custom Translator link, then close the MAT Editor. Re-Open the xlf file in the MAT Editor, then click translate all, it will automatically bring up the settings. I fill in the key, region, and link then click save. Then I can click Translate All again and it translates my file correctly. It will continue to translate any resource until I close the MAT Editor. Once I close it, I have to go through the entire process again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/intl/using-pseudo-locales-for-localization-testing

When I go to add a language, I see only qps-ploc. Missing are qps-ploca, qps-plocm, and qps-Latn-x-sh.

MAT should offer all Windows pseudo locales.

There seems to be a problem with the MAT editor currently. I am not sure how it got into this state but it will either throw a 401: Not Authorized error (even after double checking my api key, end point, etc), or it will throw a The category parameter is invalid. in the messages area. I was able to do one single full translation before this happened.

My colleague is doing the same thing but it works for them, no errors and no parameters possibly invalid.

Version: 4.1.14.0

What I have tried:

• Restarting both VS Studio and MAT Editor
• Restarting just the MAT Editor
• Opening from the menu versus opening in Visual Studio
• Trying different api keys as well as creating another test account with a new Microsoft Translator service with new keys.

I wanted to see if anyone else has had these issues (noting issue #28 ) and may have a fix or workaround.

Thank you!

I'm running into multiple issues trying to install the 2017+ edition of the MAT (I believe the 2022 edition has the same problem) on Server 2016 Core Datacenter, Windows version 10.0.14393.0.

The Windows.Networking namespace API is only available on Windows 10 and up, despite Visual Studio 2022 being supported on multiple versions of Windows Server without that API available. If there could be a compile-only version without the Runtime API components, then that would make it significantly easier to enable build automation.

It would be useful to include the pseudolocalized target languages (especially demo how mirrored app works).

See https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/win32/intl/pseudo-locales

I'd like to be able to compile my project (with translations) from a limited build environment, without the full editor installed. However, it appears that the MAT requires the CoreEditor as a prerequisite for installation. Hoping there's a way this prerequisite can be bypassed.

Hi,

I've been using this for years in my Xamarin.Forms apps, and has worked perfectly.

Looking at migrating the apps to .NET MAUI but it doesn't look like its supported. Get this message when clicking on 'Enable selection' - 'Project 'App' was not enabled - it is not a supported project type.'

When will support be added for this?

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/xamarin/add-languages-to-your-apps-with-xamarin-and-multilingual-app-toolkit/

The UI text of the tool seems to be machine translated, which is very inaccurate and has many errors (such as translating resource status "state" into "州" and "save" into "救",etc.). Can you provide the simplified Chinese XLF file of the tool for optimizing Chinese translation.

Cannot change the display language on the Editor, the Editor opened as system locale but the translation is really poor, I perfer to use other display languages such as English instead of my system language.

The Visual Studio 2022 extension 'Multilingual App Toolkit v4.1 (VS 2022+)' contains the Multilingual Editor Version 4.0.1900.0.

If you download the editor via the website you get Version 4.1.12.0
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/globalizing/multilingual-app-toolkit-editor-downloads

The Visual Studio extension should receive updates so that it is up-to-date with the latest Multilingual Editor.
I had to figure it out thanks to Cameron Lerum that I was not using the latest version of Multilingual Editor and that Telemetry was not enabled in my version.

Can't seem to enable MAT for a WPF .net 7 project.

Using VS 2022 Pro 17.9.5 on windows 10 x64.

MAT 4.2.3 extension installed.

Others seem to have the same problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75547404/how-to-enable-multilingual-toolkit-for-wpf-application-net-7-0-type-project

Hi,

we are currently migrating our Xamarin Apps to MAUI and facing some issues regarding the localizations.
With Xamarin we used the Multilingual App Toolkit along with the Editor, to provide and gather translation for different languages through the xlf files. The build process with MAT will not work anymore as our build pipeline is also changing, and MAT is not working on non-windows build nodes. Therefore we tried to replace the build generation steps with the "XliffTasks" as we found no other options currently. And this is working in general.
But as we would like to stick to the MAT editor for the plain translation process, we discovered some problems regarding the exchange of xlf files.

• The MAT always places <trans-unit> in a <group> element in the <body> element. The Editor rewrites elements that are not included in a group, to the last group contained in the file, on save. Also the Editor can't open xlf files which don't have a <group> element included at all.
  Other Tools like the "XliffTasks" place the <trans-unit> plain to the <body>, which is complient to the xlf definition.
  • The editor should be capable of opening files without a <group>element and keep the intial structure.

Thanks in advance for feedback.

PS: Im also happy to here about working alternatives, but haven't found any yet.

When opening a solution in Visual Studio 2019 or 2022 (Preview) I often have a message that the solution opened/loaded slowly because of MAT.

If the startup time could be improved, that would be great!

(don't have the exact message right here but I've had it in almost every version already).

The language Norwegian (nn-NO) is not supported i.e., the labels, error, messages etc. are not getting translated to this particular language alone. Even the labels are added manually, it keeps disappearing once the project/solution is build or rebuild .

Microsoft Translator Provider is not supported for Norwegian (nn-NO).

As per the findings, If the "Microsoft Translator Provider" has been given to the Norwegian (nn-NO), hope that this issue can be solved.

Please add support for MAUI!
Thank you

I am trying to find our if the Multilingual App Toolkit can be used in a webassembly?
We have been using MAT for years in our desktop projects, and I tried to add MAT to
a webassembly and everything was disabled in VS 2022. I added everything by hand, to
the webassembly (not shared project) and got it to compile. Then I used this article to add the needed string localizer.

I am getting an exception:
