Stepwise guide to localize a Windows Phone

Windows phone has been slowly and gradually gaining the market and place in the minds of windows phone programmers. Also, many ASP.NET programmers are keen to learn the facets of windows phone programming.

In order to localize a Windows phone,  the windows phone programmers need to separate the localizable resources from the rest of the code by creating the language-specific resource files. Here is the step-wise guide:

1. Create a Windows Phone 7 application project
2. Add a resource file for the default language of your application.
3. In the same resource file, add the strings that you want to be localized
4. Copy the resource file once for each additional language that you want your app to support
5. Translate the strings in the additionally added files
6. Edit the project file to define the additional languages the app will support
7. Set the mode of the Access Modifier file to ‘public’
8. Whenever you want to show a localized string in your app, you will have to bind to a specific property of the global resource that we have just defined
