🌍 Globalization = Localization

Reach global audience. Globalization adds localization. Multiple languages, cultures, formats.

📝 Setup

// Program.cs
builder.Services.AddLocalization(options => 
    options.ResourcesPath = "Resources");

builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews()
    .AddViewLocalization()
    .AddDataAnnotationsLocalization();

builder.Services.Configure(options =>
{
    var supportedCultures = new[]
    {
        new CultureInfo("en-US"),
        new CultureInfo("tr-TR"),
        new CultureInfo("de-DE"),
        new CultureInfo("fr-FR")
    };
    
    options.DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture("en-US");
    options.SupportedCultures = supportedCultures;
    options.SupportedUICultures = supportedCultures;
});

app.UseRequestLocalization();

// Resource files
// Resources/Controllers/HomeController.en-US.resx
// Resources/Views/Home/Index.en-US.resx
// Resources/Shared/SharedResources.en-US.resx

🎯 Using Localization

// In Controller
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private readonly IStringLocalizer _localizer;
    
    public HomeController(IStringLocalizer localizer)
    {
        _localizer = localizer;
    }
    
    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        ViewBag.Title = _localizer["Welcome"];
        return View();
    }
}

// In View
@using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Localization
@inject IViewLocalizer Localizer

@Localizer["Welcome"]
@Localizer["Description"]

// Shared Resources
public class SharedResources
{
}

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private readonly IStringLocalizer _localizer;
    
    public HomeController(IStringLocalizer localizer)
    {
        _localizer = localizer;
    }
    
    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        var message = _localizer["SharedMessage"];
        return View();
    }
}

// Data Annotations
public class User
{
    [Required(ErrorMessage = "NameRequired")]
    [Display(Name = "Name")]
    public string Name { get; set; }
}
