Hello,
I am trying to learn how to build a localizable windows application
and am having trouble getting alternate languages to display when if
stop hardcoding the culture settings. The line where I hard code the
CurrentUICultur e is in the form's constructor and is like:
Thread.CurrentT hread.CurrentUI Culture = new CultureInfo("pt-BR");
When this line is present, the form displays in Portuguese.
However, once I comment out this line, I always see English, and never
the other languages. I'm trying to display the Portuguese form
without hardcoding the culture setting.
I think this is related. The variable
"System.Globali zation.CultureI nfo.CurrentUICu lture" always returns the
value "en-US". I am guessing that if the value of this variable
changes, then so would the localized resourced file used in my
application.
Where in the Win2000 OS do I change this value? I was thinking it
would be under Regional Options in the Control Panel, but nothing I
change seems to affect that variable.
Thanks,
-- Ken
