Look up globalization/localization on the MSDN site. There are some good
articles from Michele Leroux Bustamante that are good starting points. As
for how to change the UI, it is a matter of using resource files.

Peace and Grace,

Hi Gregory.
Thank you for helpfull sugestion.
The way if controls are on a form at design time, works. The problem is that
I have a form, and all controls on that form I create dinamically, from the
source code, at run time. Is there any sample code I can have an idea from
for mutilingual applications?
Thank you.

Hi,

Add a resource file to your project.
Edit the resource file.
Repeat above for all the locals that you want to support.
Access the resource from your code.

Example:

// declare below
private ResourceManager resourceManager;

// at your form constructor
resourceManager = new
ResourceManager("WindowsFormsApplication1.Resource1", GetType().Assembly);

// somewhere in your method
// create the label dynamically
var label = new Label()
Controls.Add(label);

// access the resource
label.Text = resourceManager.GetString("String1");

Refer below MSDN site for details,
