Hi,
I want to use constants of different spoken languages in my C# code. I have to declare a "const" for each language or it is already declared in .Net? Please help me out.

Are you asking how you can use characters in non-Roman alphabets like Urdu, Devanagari, etc., in your C# code ? Please clarify.

What is exact requirement ?Do u want to allow to save data in multiple languages ? Or
If you want to use in label then use resource file where you can define your own lable in website .

@BillWoodRuff, @spshewale : i have to declare some languages like English, French, German, etc. as const string. As you know it is a long list, that's why I am asking it that is there any predefined thing in .Net.

You can use the build-in Enumeration of CultureInfo objects that .NET provides. Try this:

// reference the the System.Globalization library
using System.Globalization;
//
// these libraries referenced only because I used Linq to get a List<CultureInfo>
//
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
//
private void ListAllCultures()
{
    List<CultureInfo> culturesList =
        CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures).ToList<CultureInfo>();

    foreach(CultureInfo theCulture in culturesList)
    {
        Console.WriteLine
        (
            "Culture : {0} Language: {1}",
            theCulture.Name,
            theCulture.EnglishName
        );
    }
}
//
// in your code somewhere run this, then examine the Output Window contents
ListAllCultures();

On my machine right now, the list of Cultures has #378 entries. There is a wealth of information in each CultureInfo object including Calendar information, etc.
