IntelliSenseLocalizer 中文文档

a tool for generate and install Localized IntelliSense files. 用于生成和安装本地化IntelliSense文件的工具。

intro

Before .net6 we can download the localized .NET IntelliSense files from this page - Download localized .NET IntelliSense files. But long after .net6 was released. This page did not add the localized .NET IntelliSense files for .net6. According to this issue in dotnet/docs there is no localized .NET IntelliSense files any more - "Yes, unfortunately, we will no longer be localizing IntelliSense.". But the online docs has the localized descriptions. So this tool was born.

IntelliSenseLocalizer use the online docs to generate Localized IntelliSense files. This tool will download all api pages and analysis the content to match the origin IntelliSense file content and generate the target xml.

Benefit from online docs's nice localization and uniform page layout. This tool can theoretically generate all locale's file. But when the page layout change this tool cannot automatically adapt to the new layout.
