Question

How can I localize an button in the bottom appbar. I want to write on a german device ‘Neu’ under the button and on an english device ‘Add’.

<Style x:Key="AddAppBarButtonStyle" TargetType="ButtonBase" BasedOn="{StaticResource AppBarButtonStyle}">
    <Setter Property="AutomationProperties.AutomationId" Value="AddAppBarButton"/>
    <Setter Property="AutomationProperties.Name" Value="Add"/>
    <Setter Property="Content" Value="&#xE109;"/>
</Style>

Thanks!

So if you are using the button styles you could do something like this:

<Button Style="{StaticResource HomeAppBarButtonStyle}" x:Uid="HomeButton" />

And then in your RESW you’d have:

HomeButton.[using:Windows.UI.Xaml.Automation]AutomationProperties.Name

as your key value.
