Hello friends,
I am creating a locale specific windows application. I have to use Hindi-india as the locale language. I have gone through many msdn links, but I have not found an appropriate solution. I have some projects that support hindi language, but when I try to make a new application from start I am missing some point that I don't know. I am not able to change to locale language it is still the default.
I used this code to change the current culture, but I am not able to solve problem. Please help me find an appropriate solution.

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture =<br />
                  new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("hi-IN");

thanks in advance

First, change the form property Localizable to true. Second, create a resx for translating Strings into your own language. I think the datetime automatically changes format but not OK or CANCEL or NAME in your labels. Third, make sure that there is no other line of code that changes the locale back.

Solution 1

By any chance, did you forgot to make the form property 'Localizable' as true? If so, that is needed.

Have a look at this thread for step-wise setup: Sample article with steps[^]
