When will localization be supported in the Maui DataForm?

I had previously used localization with a dataform in xamarin, however, this is no longer supported in Maui. Are you planning on adding localization support in the future, or is there a known work around I could use?

Hi Nate,

The localization you have mentioned for Xamarin DataForm comes from the DisplayOptionAttribute which is a class we have developed for the Xamarin DataForm.

In Telerik .NET MAUI DataForm we are using the DisplayAttribute provided by Microsoft. There is a ResourceType property for Localization https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.componentmodel.dataannotations.displayattribute.resourcetype?view=net-7.0#system-componentmodel-dataannotations-displayattribute-resourcetype

Example is attached. The .resx files are inside the Resources folder. The app culture is set to French.

Hi Didi,

I apologize I should have been more specific. I am looking for localization for the labels of the entries. Previously this was done with the code below...

TelerikLocalizationManager.Manager.ResourceManager

Hello Nate,

There are Localization keys you can use in Telerik .NET MAUI DataForm. Still I noticed they are not added in the documentation. This is a missing from our side. I have updated your Telerik points for bringing this to our attention. The documentation will be updated.

Here are the localization keys for RadDataForm for MAUI:
