Hello, I have a Web API project in whose wwwroot the LocalizationAdmin folder is located. The LocalizationAdmin works locally, but as soon as the project is hosted on Azure, the same problem occurs as here: https://support.west-wind.com/Thread4M60DB5NJ.wwt When hosting, a VueJS project is copied to the wwwroot folder and then hosted together. Maybe this is the problem.

This is our configuration:

public static void AddLocalizationServices(this IServiceCollection services, IConfiguration configuration)
{
    services.AddLocalization(options => options.ResourcesPath = "Properties");
    services.AddSingleton(typeof(IStringLocalizerFactory), typeof(DbResStringLocalizerFactory));
    services.AddSingleton(typeof(IHtmlLocalizerFactory), typeof(DbResHtmlLocalizerFactory));

    services.AddWestwindGlobalization(opt =>
    {
        opt.ResourceAccessMode = ResourceAccessMode.DbResourceManager;
        opt.ConnectionString = configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection");

        // Database provider used - Sql Server is the default
        opt.DataProvider = DbResourceProviderTypes.SqlServer;

        // The table in which resources are stored
        opt.ResourceTableName = "qscLocalizations";

        opt.AddMissingResources = false;
        opt.ResxBaseFolder = "~/Properties/";

        // Set up security for Localization Administration form
        opt.ConfigureAuthorizeLocalizationAdministration(actionContext =>
        {
            // return true or false whether this request is authorized
            return true;   //actionContext.HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated;
        });
    });
    services.AddMvc()
        .AddNewtonsoftJson()
        .AddViewLocalization()
        .AddDataAnnotationsLocalization();
    services.AddTransient<IViewLocalizer, DbResViewLocalizer>();
}

We also had to write this because there were problems with Swagger:

public void Apply(ApplicationModel application)
{
    if (application != null)
    {
        application.Controllers.FirstOrDefault(c => c.ControllerName == "LocalizationAdministration").ApiExplorer.IsVisible = false;
        application.Controllers.FirstOrDefault(c => c.ControllerName == "JavaScriptLocalizationResources").ApiExplorer.IsVisible = false;
    }
}

I don't know.

The admin page should be fully self-contained from any other client side libraries.

This seems to be the error:

Do we need the "Properties" Folder, if we do not use resx?
