Multiline label with translations

[Alviseg261916]

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to understand what's the correct way of storing and then displaying a Multiline text.
More precisley i have a text that has multiple lines and it has to be for more than one language: [EN, FR, DE, ...] What's the best way to sotre the text? I've trying saving it inside the .resx as a string, but i feel like it's not the correct way of storing the text. I'm trying now to store inside the .resx file a TextFile resource.
What do you suggest?
Please help me.

Why do you feel it's not the best way to do it? I have all my strings in the resource files and it works fine. Also if you need to support multiple languages it's the only option (as far as I know) that MAUI gives you out of the box: Localization.

How long is that text so you need to store it as a TextFile?

My problem is that all the other texts are shown correctly, but those are all single-line texts.

I thought that the multiple lines were a problem for a string in a .resx file, and I've tried to use a TextFile, creating all the .txt files for the languages and using them in the .resx file. However, this doesn't show anything, not even the default value, so I must have set something wrong.

Anyway, have you ever successfully saved a multi-line text as a string in a .resx file?

So what I do is:

<data name="AMultilineString" xml:space="preserve">
    <value>
       this is a line
       this is another line
       this is a third line
    </value>
</data>

That does work for me. It doesn't work for you? I recommend you to open the resource file as XML. Also be sure to set LineBreakMode="WordWrap" in the Label or component you are placing the text.
