title: Windows Phone 8 - Localization not working
body: <p>I was asked to localize a Windows Phone 8 application, so I followed the tutorial that can be found <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff637520%28v=vs.105%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I did a very simple app from the beginning and all the steps stated in the tutorial, and it worked fine. The problem is that in the application I really want to localize, the string resources are not working.</p>
  
  <p>The Resource folder didn't exist, so I created it and then I put inside the .resx files for each language. The files are called "AppResources.resx", and I'm binding them like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationTitle" Text="{Binding Path=LocalizedResources.ApplicationTitle, 
  Source={StaticResource LocalizedStrings}}" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextNormalStyle}"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Just like in the example (there the .resx are also named "AppResources"). But when I try to deploy the application, the VS 2012 output gives me an error:</p>
  
  <p><code>The resource "LocalizedStrings" could not be resolved.</code></p>
  
  <p>I think the problem is that I had to create the Resource folder myself and I'm missing something for the application to be able to recognize it, but I don't know what it is. Can you help me?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
