WPFLocalizeExtension slow to start

[whitelined]

Hi,

Got a WPF windows application for a plugin. When I started developing the app all worked perfectly until I started using WPFLE. The app still works fine, but WPFLE is adding nearly 4-5 seconds to display the window initially - if I close the window and re-open it's quicker, but it's that initial slow start-up that's the problem. I read somewhere that it could be where WPFLE is trying to preload every culture info and associated resource? could that be the case to the problem? If so, any plans to perhaps dynamically load only what's needed rather than load the everything?

One of the suggestions I saw was modifying ResxLocalizationProviderBase, roughly between 525-533, and force the locals you've only used, which could work, it is a bit of hack that will work, but it is a hack all the same.

Regards

Aaron

Hello, @whitelined. Please check Startuptime for Available Cultures Search with Resx Provider.
You can specify cultures what you need this way:

(LocalizeDictionary.Instance.DefaultProvider as ResxLocalizationProvider).SearchCultures =
                new List<System.Globalization.CultureInfo>()
                {
                    System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("de-de"),
                    System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en"),
                    System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("he"),
                    System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("ar"),
                };

If I don't mistake, localization engine doesn't have other reliable ways to understand all supported cultures.
