I have a program that the user can switch the program language on run time.

I store the current language used in Program Settings and I access it in my program using 

Properties.Settings.Default.Language

Now In my xaml View files I want my buttons to change their ToolTips when the user change the current language.
I have two Rescorces files: EnglishRescource.resxandFrenchRescource.rex
And I bind the ToolTips of my buttons using 

ToolTip="{Binding Path=NewDocument, Source={StaticResource Resources}}"

But I don’t know if this is a correct approach. How can I bind to the correct Resource file when the language is switched.

EDIT

I renamed my resources files to Resources.En-US.resx and Resources.Fr-CA.resx

    Is there any particular reason you are naming them {language}Resource.resx instead of the standard, Resource.{locale}.resx?
