Where does LocalizationManager read it's content from?

[blumi78]

According to https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals/blob/master/Visual/Locale.md, the properties panel gets localized in

./stringResources/<lang_key>.json

and the visual content can be localized since API 1.10 using the LocalizationManager, whose read its strings from

./stringResources/<lang_key>/resources.resjson

(<lang_key> is the ISO region code like "en_US").

While this seems to be true, I found out by accident, that the LocalizationManager also has no problem finding the strings in the first location.

I appreciate having just one file per language for all the strings and would like to know if it's okay to put everything in "./stringResources/<lang_key>.json" ?

We recommend to use resjson format only since Format Panel and localization manager work fine with this approach.

You can also check how we localize in-house visuals.
