How to Localize Labels in WPF Chart Control

Localization of the WPF Chart can be customized by using the CurrentUICulture property in the WPF Chart. You can change the language by assigning the culture name of the desired language to this property.

Set Current UI Culture to the Application

public MainWindow()
{
   InitializeComponent();
   System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-FR");
} 

Steps to localize based on CurrentUICulture using Resource files

1. Create new folder, named as Resources in the application.

2. Right-click on the Resources folder, select Add, and then click New Item. In the Add New Item dialog, select the Resource File option and name the file as Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF.<culture name>.resx. For example, name it as Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF.fr-FR.resx to add localization support for the French language.

3. The culture name that indicates the name of language and country.
4. Now, add the Name/Value pair in Resource Designer of Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF.fr-FR.resx file and change its corresponding value to the corresponding culture.
