I plan to translate an .net 2.0 application to different languages. For that I enabled the localizable attribute in every form. The problem with that is, that I have to apply changes to the UI in every language supported. Is there a way to just translate the captions of buttons, labels etc. without “translating” the positon, size etc? I think its easier to fit the forms to all languages once and not to have to maintain every language’s layout afterwards.
Thank you!

    Take a look at the Localisation pages on MSDN here and here (older .NET 1.1 page) and here (newer .NET 3.5 page).

    The basics is that you create separate resx files for each language you want to support and as long as you set it up correctly .NET will sort out which language is needed.
