Can I add localization resources (*.resx) to a .net-core app after it was built?

Question

I've read through all of this:

.net-core localization fundamentals article from Microsoft

But I'm not sure if resource-files for usage with globalization can only be used if all targeted translations are present prior to the build of the application.

Can I add resources after the build so that I could serve additional language-packs to my customers with this resource-file-system?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. The term that seems important here is Satellite Assemblies and the articles about it are sparse.

This is an article that describes it for full-stack (from 2011):

Introduction to Satellite Assemblies by Andy Gonzales

Here is an article that describes it for .net-core (newer):

If someone has better material for understanding the procedure, please append them. I will try this out and post an update with details in the future.
