Display name is localized on android in "Resources\values" folder and it works as expected. However, I can't make it work with iOS.

What has been done:

  1. My solution : User's image
  2. In info.plist :
    User's image
  3. In InfoPlist.strings : User's image
  4. In csproj :

User's image

User's image

When I launch my application on iOs, alternating the system language:

  • the texts are well located in the application (French or English)
  • but the name of the application is always "The Door" (even after a complete reinstallation)

Thanks for your help.

    Hello,

    Please check if you have set the user's preferred languages.

    Detail steps: Open Settings on your iPhone, go to General->Language &Region->Preferred Languages->France.

    iOS first looks up your user's most preferred language as described in Technical Q&A QA1828: How iOS Determines the Language For Your App

    Also, the string should be "CFBundleDisplayName" = "La porte"; the quotes were missed.

    For more details, please refer to Localization in Xamarin.iOS - Xamarin | Microsoft Learn

    （The doc is about Xamarin.iOS, and it applies to MAUI. In addition, Xamarin support will end on May 1, 2024, see Xamarin official support policy | .NET (microsoft.com) )

    Best Regards,

    Wenyan Zhang
