[Windows Store] Windows Store App 的Bing Map地區化(localized)

今天在使用Windows Store中的Bing Map時，發現其實Map的標記(map labels)是支援本地化(localized)的，這功能主要是透過設定Map的Culture屬性來指定要本地化的語言，下面用個簡單的範例來說明。

在介面中放上三個可以更換不同語言的button，然後下面則是Bing Map，Xaml代碼如下:

	<Page
	x:Class="MapTest.MainPage"
	xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
	xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
	xmlns:local="using:MapTest"
	xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
	xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
	xmlns:Maps="using:Bing.Maps"
	mc:Ignorable="d">
	<Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
	<Maps:Map x:Name="bingmap" Credentials="Your Key" ZoomLevel="14" Margin="0,143,0,0"/>
	<Button Content="zh-Hant" Height="51" Margin="277,50,0,0" Width="157" Click="Button_Click"/>
	<Button Content="ko" Height="51" Margin="498,50,0,0" Width="157" Click="Button_Click"/>
	<Button Content="ja" Height="51" Margin="695,50,0,0" Width="157" Click="Button_Click"/>
	</Grid>
	</Page>

在程式部分則必須要根據點選到的button來判斷語言，並且更換Culture屬性，這樣當點選到不同語言時，Map就會切換到對應的語系

	using Bing.Maps;
	using Windows.UI.Xaml;
	using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;
	using Windows.UI.Xaml.Navigation;
	namespace MapTest
	{
	public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
	{
	public MainPage()
	{
	this.InitializeComponent();
	bingmap.HomeRegion = "US";
	}
	protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
	{
	}
	private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
	{
	switch ((sender as Button).Content.ToString())
	{
	case "zh-Hant":
	bingmap.Culture = "zh-Hant";
	break;
	case "ko":
	bingmap.Culture = "ko";
	break;
	case "ja":
	bingmap.Culture = "ja";
	break;
	}
	}
	}
	}

Culture為繁體中文


Culture為韓文


Culture為日文


而目前Bing Map所支援的Cultures可以參考下面MSDN文件
