Localization and stringFormat

[acaliaro]

Hi
is it possible to user LocalizationManager with stringFormat directly in XAML?

https://github.com/dotnet/docs-maui/blob/main/docs/fundamentals/data-binding/string-formatting.md

Sure! The TranslateExtension supports StringFormat.

            <Label
                FontSize="18"
                HorizontalOptions="Center"
                SemanticProperties.Description="{localization:Translate WelcomeToMAUI}"
                SemanticProperties.HeadingLevel="Level2"
                Text="{localization:Translate WelcomeToMAUI, StringFormat='Yo, {0}'}" />

...or if you want to inject values into a translated text, this will come in the upcoming release with the PR #16!

Thanks @SirJohnK but I have not understand.
I would like something like

Text="{Binding MyProperty, StringFormat='localization:Translate MyPropertyTranslatedFormatString'}"

Where

MyPropertyTranslatedFormatString = 'Hi {0}'

[SirJohnK]

Yes, this will come in the next release (v1.2.0) with the TranslateBinding in #16! (Will probably release that tonight!)

I will not sleep, thanks

This feature is now live on NuGet in the latest release v1.2.0!

See more information in the Readme section!

With the TranslateBindingExtension you can now do this:

Text="{localization:TranslateBinding MyProperty, TranslateFormat=MyPropertyTranslatedFormatString}"
