Xamarin.Forms : How to use localization independent of device language

Question

I am developing a Xamarin.Forms app (portable class library project) with Visual Studio 2013 CE. First I\'m focusing the iOS version.

Now I\'m thinking about how to make

Answer 1

Finally i got an answer of the Xamarin support. The solution i was thinking about works. In the PCL i just have the static Settings class which stores the different CultureInfo objects. In addition I defined a method for changing the current culture and the language of the resources file.

public static void ChangeCurrentCultureInfo(CultureInfo cultureInfo)
{
    CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
    Resource.Culture = CurrentCulture;
}

It was important to set the default language in the App() constructor before I initialize the main page. Now i got a listview with all supported languages with one tapped event which calls the ChangeCurrentCultureInfo method.

Nevertheless i want to thank Andy Hopper for providing his solution!
