This repository contains a sample explaining How to Change the Return Button Text for .NET MAUI NumericEntry for a Specific Culture in iOS

To modify the return button text of the keyboard, follow these steps to initialize localization for the NumericEntry control:

Step 1: Add a New .resx File

1. In your project, create a new folder named Resources if it doesn’t already exist.
2. Right-click on the Resources folder and select Add > New Item....
3. Choose Resource File and name it SfNumericEntry.fr-FR.resx for French localization.

Step 2: Add Localization Keys and Values

1. Open the SfNumericEntry.fr-FR.resx file.
2. In the Name column, add the following keys: return, go, next, done, send, search.
3. In the Value column, enter the corresponding translated text.

Return button type	Key	Value
Default	return	retour
Go	go	aller
Done	done	terminé
Next	next	suivant
Search	search	rechercher
Send	send	envoyer

Step 3: Configure the Localization for NumericEntry

To apply the localization, set the ResourceManager for SfNumericEntryResources in the App.xaml.cs file.

namespace NumericEntrySample
{
   public partial class App : Application
   {
       public App()
       {
           InitializeComponent();

           // Set the current UI culture
           CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");

           // Initialize the ResourceManager for SfNumericEntry
           SfNumericEntryResources.ResourceManager = new ResourceManager("NumericEntrySample.Resources.SfNumericEntry", Application.Current!.GetType().Assembly);
       }

       protected override Window CreateWindow(IActivationState? activationState)
       {
           return new Window(new AppShell());
       }
   }
}

Step 4: Initialize NumericEntry control

               HeightRequest="40" 
               Background="Lavender"/>
