LanguageFiles not loading; best practices?
You should only need services.AddEmbeddedLocalization<Startup>() and then making sure your xml files are marked as embedded in the project file. I think it will scan for all embdedded xml files but in Foundation we use lang folder.

Awesome! Thanks Mark. It was the embedded file setting I was overlooking.
Glad you got this figured out! Just in case this helps anyone- I recently ran into an issue where Views.en.xml was not embedded, despite the file being marked as an embedded resource. Changing the filename to Views_en.xml fixed that.

Hello all,
I am migrating from CMS 11 to 12, and cannot track down why my property and content type names language files are being ignored. I'm not seeing any CMS 12/.NET Core specific changes in the documentation. Maybe I have inadvertently excluded a piece.
We have no actual need for localization in the CMS UI, but use the XML files. I know I could move the text from XML to code, but because of our extensive use of inheritance, it would require overriding properties just for changes to names/descriptions. And the moving would be very large.
On a side note, are there any plans to move things from .config/xml files to json?
Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Kevin
