Question

The question already explains what I’m trying to do, here is an example:

[Display(Name = Localization.City)]
public string City { get; set; }

The error is, but (for me) doesn’t make sense: An attribute argument must be a constant expression, typeof expression or array creation expression of an attribute parameter type

Answer 1

In order to use DisplayAttribute with resources you need to use

[Display(ResourceType=typeof(Localization), Name="City")]
public string City {get;set;}

And don’t forget to open resource file and set access modifier to public instead of internal.
