# Documentation: GroupImport Resources Module

## 1. Purpose

This module provides localization infrastructure for the Group Import feature in DataPRO. It consists of a WPF markup extension (`TranslateExtension`) enabling XAML-based string resource lookup, and an auto-generated strongly-typed resource class (`StringResources`) containing localized strings for TDAS group file import operations, validation messages, preview UI labels, and error/warning text. The module supports the import workflow from file selection through validation to completion.

## 2. Public Interface

### `TranslateExtension` (Class)
**Namespace:** `DBImportExport.Resources`  
**Attribute:** `[MarkupExtensionReturnType(typeof(string))]`

A WPF markup extension for retrieving localized strings in XAML bindings.

| Member | Signature | Description |
|--------|-----------|-------------|
| Constructor | `TranslateExtension(string key)` | Initializes the extension with the resource key to look up. |
| `ProvideValue` | `override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)` | Returns the localized string for `_key`, or a fallback indicator if not found. |
| `NotFound` | `const string = "#stringnotfound#"` | Constant returned when the key is null, empty, or the resource is missing. |

**Behavior of `ProvideValue`:**
- Returns `NotFound` if `_key` is null or empty.
- Returns `StringResources.ResourceManager.GetString(_key)` if the key exists.
- Returns `NotFound + " " + _key` if the key is not found in the resource manifest.

### `StringResources` (Class)
**Namespace:** `GroupImport.Resources`  
**Modifiers:** `internal`, `sealed` (implied by auto-generation)

A strongly-typed resource class auto-generated by `StronglyTypedResourceBuilder`. Provides access to localized strings via static properties.

| Member | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `ResourceManager` | `static ResourceManager` | Returns the cached `ResourceManager` instance for this assembly. Lazy-initialized. |
| `Culture` | `static CultureInfo` | Gets/sets the current UI culture for resource lookups. |
