(My Visual Studio Version is 2019 Enterprise 2019 Preview Version 16.2.0 Preview 1.0)
and added a CustomCommand named "TestCommand01" which shows Information alert message
when the menu is clicked. (I localized the first line of message, using .resx file, and it works fine.)
I'm trying to localize just the button text of this MenuItem.
To do so, I copied the "VsixLocalizeTrialPackage.vsct" file and pasted it to it's Spanish, Japanese, and English corresponding vsct files (VsixLocalizeTrialPackage.en-US.vsct, VsixLocalizeTrialPackage.es-ES.vsct, VsixLocalizeTrialPackage.ja-JP.vsct) . I changed the button text of TestCommand01Id to the native expression for their corresponding language.
<ItemGroup> <VSCTCompile Include="VsixLocalizeTrialPackage.vsct"> <ResourceName>Menus.ctmenu</ResourceName> </VSCTCompile> <VSCTCompile Include="VsixLocalizeTrialPackage.en-US.vsct"> <ResourceName>Menus.ctmenu</ResourceName> </VSCTCompile> <VSCTCompile Include="VsixLocalizeTrialPackage.es-ES.vsct"> <ResourceName>Menus.ctmenu</ResourceName> </VSCTCompile> <VSCTCompile Include="VsixLocalizeTrialPackage.ja-JP.vsct"> <ResourceName>Menus.ctmenu</ResourceName> </VSCTCompile></ItemGroup>
What I expect is that I can see localized "Invoke TestCommand01" command menu
just below the "Tool" menu, in the experimental Visual Studio instance,
when Debbug begins.

What I'd like to know
--------
I'm wondering if I can really localize vsix custom menucommand in with this process.
I'm afraid I miss some very important procedure.
I have uploaded above simple program to the github.
https://github.com/TrailRunner-MF/Experimental
It's a very simple program just focus on the localization of vsct files.
I'll appreciate any advice or hint or example relating to this complicated problem.
Thank you.
