Not clear. You mean to say a UI with different language settings or what? Elaborate please.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 12-Jun-11 16:07pm

It partially depends on UI library and technology. WPF, Forms, ASP.NET?!
Tag it!

Solution 1

This is a big topic, but all solutions are well-known and thoroughly supported by .NET.

See my past answer where I explain globalization and localization:
Multi Langauge WINFORm[^].

For detail, look here first: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa292205(v=vs.71).aspx[^].

Read this CodeProject article:
WPF Localization Using RESX Files[^].

See also my article on a specific topic of enumeration globalization/localization: Human-readable Enumeration Meta-data[^].

For Windows application, it is also important to make your application flexible, so it won't be sensitive to lengths of the strings in the UI.
Please see my past recommendations here:
GUI Apperance - C#.Net[^],
Zom Out malfunctions when Screen resolution changes[^].

For ASP.NET, see this article: Globalization and localization demystified in ASP.NET 2.0[^].

Solution 2

I think you want your application to be shown in different languages. If that is so, then have a look at these two articles:

- Instantly Changing Language in the Form[^]

- Changing Your Application User Interface Culture On The Fly[^]

Hope it helped. :thumbsup:
