Hi @Sunil Patekar,

Spanish es-ES language code dll is created in es-ES bin folder and working fine localization but not working Spanish with language code es-XL not created folder and *.es-XL.dll.

According to Microsoft's documentation, the latest list of Windows Language Code Identifiers (LCIDs) does not include es-XL. I think that's why it doesn't compile.
