The Localizer does not work with Desktop/Skia

[ArchieCoder]

Current behavior

The localizer will return the string key as result

SelectedPageText = _localizer["stringkey"]

-> SelectedPageText's value will be "stringkey"

Expected behavior

Get the proper string value from the Resources.resw file

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

1- Create a blank project
2- Add a string in Resources.resw
3- Retrieve the string value with the localizer["stringkey"]

The title kept getting set to the key name and not the value

The loaded resource is correct

This is your template code with the value simply changed ...
the variable tmp is set to the value "ApplicationName"
I feel like I'm missing something really simple here

I am building for iOS and Android only ...

This code ..

Yields this output ...

Hi, I think I just had the same issue, when migrating to Uno 5.2.
For me using the IStringLocalizer just worked when building for Windows 10+ with WinAppSDK, but not for other platforms.
I replaced the usage of IStringLocalizer with ResourceLoader.GetForViewIndependentUse(), which fixed the problem for me. (https://platform.uno/docs/articles/guides/localization.html)
