Localization in VB.net

I need to write a winforms app that is going to be distributed in 3 languages,
so ALL the text in my app should be in those 3 languages. What is the best way to approach this.

Somehow I would like one solution that I want to build in either of the 3 languages

It would all begin with Inheritnace.... each form that you create with one language must have similar charateristics with those in another language. So the best way to start off is to create forms that have common properties with all 3 languages. The customised forms for a certain language then inherit from the parent form and change it as it sees fit. Have constants for all 3 so that when you build (like for labels, text boxes, etc), it can choose from either. It is much more complicated than this, but this would be a start.
