Question

I am working on a localized wp7 app and in the process of building my resx files and running into a issue where the es-MX file is not getting used when the phone is set correctly. I have a es-ES file also and the strings from it are being used instead of the es-MX file.

Here is the supported cultures from my csproj:

<SupportedCultures>en-GB;es-PE;es-MX;it;fr;nl;es-ES;</SupportedCultures>

And when check the CurrentCulture for the thread it is returning es-MX. But the strings are being loaded from the es-ES file.

Thanks for any help.

After following the examples at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff637520%28v=vs.92%29.aspx this was still not working correctly. This came down to not getting differences between es-ES and es-PE not be picked up correctly.

Added this line of code to App() in App.XAML.cs brought it all together.

AppResources.Culture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
