Localized form name

[Guest]

Hello All
I want a form name to be changed depending upon the cultureInfo. Whenever one creates a form, its corresponding Form1.resx file is created. I created a file named Form1.fr-FR.resx, and added the string resource for form name. The application compiles fine, but even if I change the Thread.CurrentThread.CulturInfo property to fr-FR, the string is not taken from the new file.
Is anything I'm missing
Thanx
Mahesh.

Hi,

Don't forget to set the form's property Localizable to true.

I think you actually want to set Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture. I have done this and shipped a product that supports it

This isn't really documented very well. To be able to set it in Windows (for ALL of your windows apps) is to install the multi-language packs for Windows. After you can set this in the Region stuff in control panel

Good luck!
