I'm trying to get this to work in a .Net 7 console application

I'm trying to get this to work in a .Net 7 console application but I am unclear how to create the service for this.
Is there a sample anywhere, by chance?

Much appreciated.

namespace NotificationDaemon
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Build and configure Services
            var Services = new ServiceCollection();
            
            ConfigureServices(Services);

            // Add additional Services specific to the console app if needed
            //Services.AddSingleton<LocalizerService>(); // Add LocalizerService as a singleton

            var ServiceProvider = Services.BuildServiceProvider();

            // Use the service provider to resolve and run your application logic
            //var Localizer = ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<LocalizerService>();

            var Localizer = ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IStringLocalizer<LocSource>>();

            // Access localized strings using the LocalizerService

            //Test different cultures below by uncommenting them
            var LocalizedString = Localizer.GetString("Hello World!", new CultureInfo("en-US"));
            
            Console.WriteLine(LocalizedString);
            
            LocalizedString = Localizer.GetString("Hello World!", new CultureInfo("en-GB"));
            
            Console.WriteLine(LocalizedString);
            
            LocalizedString = Localizer.GetString("Hello World!", new CultureInfo("es"));

            // Output the localized string
            Console.WriteLine(LocalizedString);
        }

        private static void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection Services)
        {
            // Add IConfiguration instance
            var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
                .SetBasePath(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory)
                .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true)
                .Build();

            Services.AddSingleton<IConfiguration>(configuration);
            
            Services.Configure<RequestLocalizationOptions>(options =>
            {
                var supportedCultures = new List<CultureInfo>()
                {
                    new CultureInfo("en-US"),
                    new CultureInfo("en-GB"),
                    new CultureInfo("es")
                };
                options.DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture("en-US");
                options.SupportedCultures = supportedCultures;
                options.SupportedUICultures = supportedCultures;
            });

            Services.AddHttpClient<ITranslator, MyMemoryTranslateService>();
            Services.AddSingleton<IXResourceProvider, XmlResourceProvider>();

            Services.AddRazorPages().AddXLocalizer<LocSource, MyMemoryTranslateService>(ops =>
            {
                ops.ResourcesPath = "LocalizationResources";
                ops.AutoAddKeys = true;
                ops.AutoTranslate = true;
                ops.UseExpressMemoryCache = true;
            });
        }
    }
}

This only outputs "Hello World!" 3 times with no translation.
Somehow, this is not working with xLocalizer.

You need to switch to the target culture so XLocalizer can read the CurrentCulture param and localize to it accordingly.

Just use below method for switching to a different culture:

using XLocalizer.Common;

...

using (CultureSwitcher cs = new("es"))
{
    var LocalizedString = Localizer["Hello world"];
    Console.WriteLine(LocalizedString);
}

using (CultureSwitcher cs = new("en-GB"))
{
    var LocalizedString = Localizer["Hello world"];
    Console.WriteLine(LocalizedString);
}

using (CultureSwitcher cs = new("en-US"))
{
    var LocalizedString = Localizer["Hello world"];
    Console.WriteLine(LocalizedString);
}

Thank you so much! That worked. Appreciate your help!

Glad to help :)

Sorry to be a pain, but after running the script and I see the translations, I am not seeing the xml files created in my LocalizationResources folder. I must be missing a step.

`using Microsoft.Extensions.Localization;
using System.Globalization;

namespace NotificationDaemon
{
public class LocalizerService
{
private readonly IStringLocalizerFactory _localizerFactory;

    public LocalizerService(IStringLocalizerFactory localizerFactory)
    {
        _localizerFactory = localizerFactory;
    }

    public string GetString(string key, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        var localizer = _localizerFactory.Create(typeof(LocalizationResources.LocSource));
        return localizer[key, culture];
    }
}

}`

It is under the bin folder:
bin\Debug\net7.0\LocalizationResources

Ah ha! Thanks. Send me your PayPal email please.
