.NET RESX localization with local AI

Generate translations, RESX keys, C# APIs, editor hints, and WPF XAML localization from one toolkit.

Lizerium.Localization.Toolkit combines runtime localization, source generation, Roslyn analyzers, Visual Studio CodeFixes, C# editor hints, a WPF XAML VSIX, and local AI translation through Ollama and LibreTranslate.

Quick Start

Install the toolkit

<PackageReference Include="Lizerium.Localization.Toolkit" Version="1.0.0" />

Add `.resx` files as `AdditionalFiles` and `Content`, then use the generated `Generated.Localization.Localization` API.

Install the XAML VSIX

src\Lizerium.Localization.Xaml.Vsix\bin\Release\net472\Lizerium.Localization.Xaml.Vsix.vsix

Use the Visual Studio light bulb to replace XAML literals with `{loc:Loc Key}` and create resource entries.

Install C# editor hints

src\Lizerium.Localization.EditorHints\bin\Release\net472\Lizerium.Localization.EditorHints.1.0.4.vsix

Show inline `.resx` values next to generated localization calls such as `L.MainWindow.Title()`.
