Source Code

You can find the source of the example solution used in this article here.

Getting Started

This example is based on the following document
https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Localization#extending-existing-resource

We will change the default DisplayName:Abp.Timing.Timezone and Description:Abp.Timing.Timezone of AbpTimingResource and add localized text in Russian language(ru).

I created the AbpTiming folder in the Localization directory of the ExtendLocalizationResource.Domain.Shared project.

Create en.json and ru.json in its directory.

en.json

{
  "culture": "en",
  "texts": {
    "DisplayName:Abp.Timing.Timezone": "My Time zone",
    "Description:Abp.Timing.Timezone": "My Application time zone"
  }
}

ru.json

{
  "culture": "ru",
  "texts": {
    "DisplayName:Abp.Timing.Timezone": "Часовой пояс",
    "Description:Abp.Timing.Timezone": "Часовой пояс приложения"
  }
}

We have below content in ExtendLocalizationResource.Domain.Shared.csproj file, See Virtual-File-System understand how it works.

<ItemGroup>
    <EmbeddedResource Include="Localization\ExtendLocalizationResource\*.json" />
    <Content Remove="Localization\ExtendLocalizationResource\*.json" />
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders.Embedded" Version="5.0.*" />
</ItemGroup>

Change the code of the ConfigureServices method in ExtendLocalizationResourceDomainSharedModule.

Configure<AbpLocalizationOptions>(options =>
{
    options.Resources
        .Add<ExtendLocalizationResourceResource>("en")
        .AddBaseTypes(typeof(AbpValidationResource))
        .AddVirtualJson("/Localization/ExtendLocalizationResource");

    //add following code
    options.Resources
        .Get<AbpTimingResource>()
        .AddVirtualJson("/Localization/AbpTiming");

    options.DefaultResourceType = typeof(ExtendLocalizationResourceResource);
});

Execute ExtendLocalizationResource.DbMigrator to migrate the database and run ExtendLocalizationResource.Web.

We have changed the English localization text and added Russian localization.
