I’ve created a localized winforms application (in VS2008) by setting the Localizable property to true and then editing the texts, etc… of my Mainform in the designer for the relevant language.

I also have some localized strings that the application needs (e.g. for displaying message boxes and such…). Those strings I have stored in a files named

  • strings.resx
  • strings.de.resx
  • … and so on

When I set the application’s language via Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture it seems to work, but only within Visual Studio. When I create a release executable and double click it, the Winforms always uses the default language (even if I hardcode Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ... in there…

I also tried setting strings.Culture and Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture, that didn’t work either

thx for any help
