Hi,

Yes, I have experienced that problem. If you use automatic localization VS
handles the multilingual one by its own, so if you change it it will be
overwritten. You can change the specific lengague resoruces without problem.
This behaviour is by design, otherwise you can create your own resource files
and have your forms reading them, this is a manual process but can give you
that flex.

My recommendation is do not use the multilingual version, create one for
english and the other one for french for example.

Best regards

Hi,

1) If you use automatic internationalization you should never touch your
resource files, use the designer to change things.
2) Try not to use the default lenguage one (Form1.resx), instead create one
for english and one for your other lenguage (Form1.en.resx) and
(Form1.xx.resx), you can change this files without problem.

Now if you want to do everything manual, just add a resource file, put all
your strings and embeed the file on your project. On your form you need to
detect the lenguage and then load the correct resource file:

System.Resources.ResourceManager.CreateFileBasedResourceManager()

Play with System.Resources and you will be surprise of the flexibility.

Sorry that I don't have an example here, On monday I will.
