I have three dropdown lists for date of birth in my multilingual application.
I am able to get the month names in different languages and put them into dropdown list.

However I would like to add actual words “Month”, “Day” and “Year” as a first item in the dropdowns. Of course, I could easily add string “Month” as first item, but I need this to be multilingual. I am trying to avoid long case statements and tons of strings (application supports 24 languages).

Is there a way to do this in .net? I am not asking for how to output months names, but how to output actual words “Month”, “Day”, and “Year” in different languages.

Thanks in advance.

    The same way as you would do it for any other word: localize your application. A good default approach to doing this (much better than case statements) is using resources. Obviously, you will not be able to avoid the tons of strings as there is no localization fairy.
