How can I get a Localization object to query a different Publication

Question

I'm new to DXA and faced an unknown while fetching DCP (or to say EntityModel) from other Publication. I've a pre populated Localization object which points to current Publication/site context. How can I get a Localization object for a different Publication?

My requirement is to fetch EntityModels from a different Publication then current!

I know, we get can EntityModel for current Publication like this:

DefaultContentProvider contentProvider = new DefaultContentProvider();
EventDetail eventDataModel = null;
try
{
    var eventData = contentProvider.GetEntityModel(new TcmUri(compId).ItemId + "-" + EventDetailCTID, _localization);
    eventDataModel = eventData as EventDetail;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    // Error
}

How can we get a _localization object for some other Publication?

Use Case: Every locale specific dynamic components are published from each publications. There is a webpage where we want to display all these dynamic components (from all geos), on a single page.

Update: I found a way of getting the localization object using Resolver: ILocalizationResolver localizationResolver = new CdApiLocalizationResolver(); _localization = localizationResolver.ResolveLocalization(new Uri());

I tried localizationResolver.GetLocalization(), but this doesnt seems to build the object.

Although your use case is still not really clear (and thus it is not clear if your really have to use cross-Localization logic), there is a way to ensure that a Localization object retrieved from ILocalizationResolver.GetLocalization is initialized:

Localization loc = SiteConfiguration.LocalizationResolver.GetLocalization(id);
loc.EnsureInitialized();
