Xamarin.Forms XAML binding to x:String

Question

Is there a way to dynamicaly assign Picker.Items from XAML?

Something like:

<Picker x:Name="pckTheme">
    <Picker.Items>
        <x:String>{Binding Option1Text}></x:String>
        <x:String>{DynamicResource Option2Text}></x:String>
    </Picker.Items>
</Picker>

(This sample is not working, of course).

As far as I can tell, the only allowed type in Picker.Items is x:String and I can't seem to find any method to bind to x:String.

Doing it from code is relatively simple, but I would prefer doing it from XAML directly, if possible.

Goal here is to localize content from resource file, but other uses may come handy.

Please use the following XAML code:

<x:Array Type="{x:Type x:String}">
<x:Static Member="local:AppResources.Events"/>
<x:Static Member="local:AppResources.Device"/>
<x:Static Member="local:AppResources.Biographical"/>
</x:Array>

Where local is:

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:YOURNAMESPACE"
