A vanilla Windows Phone device is populated with many string resources – for example ‘Settings’ and beneath ‘Settings’ lies ‘location’ among others. At least this is the case for the en-GB UI language. I would like to access the full list of device-loaded strings, not just for en-GB, but for every UI-supported language. That is, I’m looking for the full list of en-GB UI strings, plus their parallel translations in the full set of UI-supported languages. Can anyone help me find them? Do I need a special SDK? Does Microsoft simply ‘publish’ them somewhere? Or do I need to write some C# to query an on-phone assembly?

The strings used by the OS and the native apps are not available via any public method.
If you are looking to translate your app you need to translate text in context to where you use it. It is not a straight copy and paste exercise. This means you can’t just reuse the translations from another source. (Unless it’s the exact same context.)
