WPF array of strings - Binding to resources

Question

I'am trying to create an array of strings which will be set by a static reference to the project's resource file (I use this for localization):

<x:Array Type="{x:Type sys:String}" x:Key="FormatTranslation">
    <sys:String>{x:Static p:Resources.Yes}</sys:String>
    <sys:String>{x:Static p:Resources.No}</sys:String>
</x:Array>

Of course the code above does not work, it just shows the referencce as string.

How can I bind those values to the string entities?

--- Update 1 ---

The array is defined in

<UserControl.Resources>

This is the line where I'am referencing the array as a StaticResource to use it as ConverterParameter

<TextBlock Text="{Binding RowData.Row.IsLandscapeFormat, Converter=StaticResource BCBCT}, ConverterParameter={StaticResource FormatTranslation}}"/>

Add the snipped you use this Array please.

Add the Static values directly to your array.

<x:Array Type="sys:String">
  <x:Static Member="p:Resources.Yes"/>
  <x:Static Member="p:Resources.No"/>
</x:Array>
