How to set up languages in Asp.net Core

To configure the languages in asp.net core I used the following configuration:

In the Startup file

  public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
   services.AddLocalization(opts => {
    opts.ResourcesPath = "Resources";
   });

   services.AddMvc()
    .AddViewLocalization(

     LanguageViewLocationExpanderFormat.SubFolder,
     opts => {
      opts.ResourcesPath = "Resources";
     })
    .AddDataAnnotationsLocalization()
    .SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);
  }

I put the translation files here as shown in the image

privatereadonlyIStringLocalizer<HomeController>_localizer;publicHomeController(IStringLocalizer<HomeController>localizer){_localizer=localizer;}

ThentoaccessaspecifictextIused

ViewData["Contact"] = _localizer.GetString("Contact").Value;

Step to the% with the Contact field found in the files:

This file in your order:

Affect the _Layout.cshtml

Inside the _Layout.cshtml file we can translate within this file without driver we use razor

@inject IViewLocalizer Localizer

And to put a translation variable we use for example:

@Localizer["MenuHome"]

where "MenuHome" is the name of the variable declared in the file Views.Shared._Layout.en.resx and Views.Shared._Layout.pt-PT.resx >

Then to see the pages in different languages just access the link of your site: link To show the translation in this case in English
