Hi there,
I have a basic PowerPoint add-in, with Localizable property of the add-in module set to true and a couple of buttons in ribbon.
I added Spanish localization in Language property of the add-in module and renamed the caption of the groups/buttons.
I can see the AddinModule.es.resx file in the project, so everything seems fine.
But when I install the add-in on an Spanish Office 2016 (running on English Windows 10), the groups/buttons have the Default captions, not the Spanish ones.
I can't find anything in documentation related to localization, but according to this thread: "When your add-in is loaded by the host application the UI language is detected depending on the Office localization and appropriate language should be chosen/applied to the add-in UI automatically."
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for your time!

I managed to make it work by using the registry approach from this thread.
I think the add-in localization would deserve some lines in the documentation or at least some sticky forum threads :), it's a very cool and helpful feature. |
