Cross Platform Localization Strategies

Cross platform development is all the rage, and thanks to Xamarin, you can develop mobile apps that target multiple platforms using C# and the .NET Framework. But with great power comes great responsibility. Start off on the right foot by designing your applications so that you can publish them to multiple markets, specifically to regions where English is not the primary language.

Join me in this session as we explore the various localization strategies that you can incorporate in your Xamarin native and Xamarin.Forms applications which will help prepare your applications for the global marketplace!
