                  //As this Select is IQuerable Extension it will execute in the data store and only retrieve filtered data.
                  exampleEntity = x,
                  localizedContetnt = x.TextEntry.LocalizedContents.Where(g=>g.Id==YourKey),
               }).FirstOrDefault();   

You could try anonymous projection to filter contents in the Included entities
