Description
In a .NET MAUI app you can follow the .NET Android approach to handling localized images and it works correctly. On iOS/MacCat you can follow the platform approach to handling localized images and it works with a workaround (see #16734).
Windows is equally mysterious. If you place your localized images, in locale folders, in the root of your MAUI project then image localization works:
This isn't great though. But placing them in Platform/Windows doesn't work:
Similarly, placing them in Platform/Windows/Assets/Images doesn't work, which I'd hoped would work due to it being the UWP approach.
However, it's possible to make it work. Place your localized images in Platforms/Windows/Assets/Images (or whatever you want to call your images folder):
Those images will get copied to
bin/.../win10-x64/AppX/Platforms/Windows/Assets/Images, which means to retrieve them in XAML you'll need to specify the path:So while this works I'd label it a papercut because the behaviour on one platform is different to the other platforms, where you don't have to worry about the path to the images.
