Localizing a UWP application with multiple projects

In My UWP app I am maintaining my resources.resw in the Util class library.I have a button like this.

<Button
                    x:Name="BtnLogin"
                    x:Uid="LoginButton"
                    Grid.Row="2"
                    Margin="0,0,20,20"
                    HorizontalAlignment="Right"
                    Click="btn_Login_Click"
                    Style="{ThemeResource LoginButtonStyle}"
                    TabIndex="4" />

Button content is set as below in the resources.resw file.

<data name="LoginButton.Content"
    xml:space="preserve">
<value>Login</value>

This is the project structure

Place where the UI files maintaining

Place where the UI files maintaining

Place where the resources file maintaining

Place where the resources file maintaining

If the resources file exists in the same project the button content binds properly. When resource file in a different class library the content doesn't bind.

Binding from code behind is not a proper answer.I need to bind from the xaml directly like below. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/windows10_development/windows10_development_localization.htm

I could fix this using

                    <Button
                    x:Name="BtnLogin"
                    x:Uid="/WinAppUtil/Resources/LoginButton"
                    Grid.Row="2"
                    Margin="0,0,20,20"
                    HorizontalAlignment="Right"
                    Click="btn_Login_Click"
                    Style="{ThemeResource LoginButtonStyle}"
                    TabIndex="4" />

Need to use ClassLibararyName/ResourceFileName/Resource when declaring the x:Uid
