Multiple language support?

Does Visual Studio C# Express have support for multiple target languages (ie program displays English, but I want to also distribute a German version of the program).

    Good test. This should probably be easier. If you started the question, like this one, you should see a button next to the "Reply" and "Quote" buttons that says "Mark as Correct Answer".  Click that. :-)

    .NET supports automatic loading of globalized resources, if you design your app accordingly.

    The easiest way is to set the "Localizable" property (under design) on your form to True. 

    You can then set the current language for text display -- Default is lanauage neutral (usually English).  After entering the default text values for your controls, you can go back to your form and change the language.  Now, you can go back to each of your controls and put the proper text in (or other properties, like RTL direction).

    If you're using a foreign language OS, and if the app contains resources for that language, it should be loaded automatically.  Otherwise, the Default resources are loaded.  If you search for Globalization on .NET, you'll find lots more info, including how to manually specify the culture/language.

    The .NET Framework as a whole supports multiple languages and has provided many features for globalization. But nothing could be done inside the program. You have to look for the required GERMAN font and then  set the platform setings for being able to support GERMAN for the purpose.

    For setting the platform environment, you will have to llok for the mannual for OS.

    All the best
