UWP how to refresh text without re-navigate

Question

I have a multi language application that allow user to switch language using dropdown menu. It works fine, but it is too slow when switching the language because I need to re-navigate to my current frame. This is because I need to reload my products (which takes a bit of time).

Here is my code:

 var culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(sLang);
 Windows.Globalization.ApplicationLanguages.PrimaryLanguageOverride = culture.Name;
 Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.Core.ResourceContext.GetForCurrentView().Reset();
 Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.Core.ResourceContext.GetForViewIndependentUse().Reset();

 Frame.Navigate(Frame.CurrentSourcePageType);  //I want to avoid this as calling this will re-initialize my page - which in turn re-load my products

My question is, is there a way to force all component with x:Uid to reload from resource file (eg. Strings/en-US/Resources.resw) without calling Frame.Navigate()?

In WinForm, I can do something like:

System.Resources.ResourceManager rm = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(typeof(MainForm));
foreach (Control ctl in this.Controls)
{
    rm.ApplyResources(ctl, ctl.Name);
}

Is there any equivalent in UWP? Or is there any better way to tackle my problem?

Thanks

I used this pattern from the documentation which uses this sample to notify a change in my data. If im not wrong, you want to notify the xaml element's content(e.g. Text) when it changes. Then you need to use binding.

Hope that helps!
