Runtime localization support for Code components on Custom pages and Canvas apps

Microsoft announced the Public Preview of runtime localization for code components on custom page and standalone canvas applications.

Inline with the model-driven application behavior, custom pages and standalone canvas applications can now dynamically display themselves in user preferred language. This not just enables all code components to align seamlessly with the host application language but also  provides significant runtime performance optimizations. OOB control’s now have their localization data hosted and served via CDN.  3rd party code components can have localization support added via existing resx approach and Power Apps will pre-create payload for optimized runtime rendering via blob – eliminating the need for downloading and parsing larger files.

This release enables end to end localization support for custom pages which is in Public Preview.
