Access to string.xml Xamarin.Forms

Issue

I need to access to the string.xml on the Resources folder to made my multilingual app.

I'm trying to find a way to do it. It should be simple but I didn't find and answer. This is my string.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<resources xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <string name="Text">Text</string>
</resources>

I need to set the property text to my button. I try this but it doesn't work.

<Button x:Name="btn" Text="@string/Text"/>

Also I need to set the property by programmability. Somo thing like:

btn.Text=Resources.GetString(Resource.String.Text);

How could I do it?

Thank you.

There is no need to use resource file like this in xamarin.forms. Check this article this will help you:
