    In This Topic

    Localization for UWP projects is more complex than in other applications since your application will honor the language set by the end-user in their system's Control Panel.

    The following controls contain resources which can be localized:

    • Barcode
    • Calendar
    • ColorPicker
    • Extended
    • FlexViewer
    • PdfViewer
    • RichTextBox
    • RichTextBoxMenu
    • Scheduler
    • SpellChecker

    The following languages are supported:

    1. Arabic (ar)
    2. Czech (cs)
    3. Danish (da)
    4. Dutch (nl)
    5. English(en)
    6. English(en-US)
    7. German (de)
    8. Greek (el)
    9. Spanish (es)
    10. Finnish (fi)
    11. French (fr)
    12. Hebrew (he)
    13. Hungarian (hu)
    14. Hungarian-Hungary (hu-Hu)
    15. Italian (it)
    16. Japanese (ja)
    17. Norwegian (no)
    18. Polish (pl)
    19. Portuguese (pt)
    20. Romanian (ro)
    21. Russian (ru)
    22. Slovak (sk)
    23. Slovenian (sl)
    24. Swedish (sv)
    25. Turkish (tr)
    26. Chinese (zh)
    27. Traditional Chinese (zh-Hant) - Taiwan, Hong Kong
    28. Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) - China

    Note that supported languages for C1Barcode are Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

    You can change the language for the application by setting it in the Package.appxmanifest; or by setting the PrimaryLanguageOverride in MainPage() constructor of your application, as shown below:

    C#
    Copy Code 
    Windows.Globalization.ApplicationLanguages.PrimaryLanguageOverride = "ja-JP";
