Just browsing the site; it looks like what I need, but how would this work with a windows application?
</div>


<div>
It works the same way as with a web application. You need to create resource files which store the data for each language, then depending on the language selected (this could be in the option menu / during installation) the correct resource file is used.<br />
<br />
For instance a Label.Text property will be set from the value present in the resouce file. All the resource files will have all the same keys, simply the value will be different.
</div>


<div>
emoreau, I am going through the guide your provided and mine doesnt seem to be functioning the same. &nbsp;I create the same form shown, I set the localizable property to true, and the language to French. &nbsp;At this point, the guide said a form1.fr.resx resource file should have been created, but it doesnt with my app. &nbsp;I only see the original form1.resx file.
</div>


<div>
I wrote this article in VB.Net 2003 era. Maybe they have changed something since then.
</div>


<div>
So any ideas why the french resource file is not showing up?
</div>


<div>
OK I found it. The method slightly changed.<br />
<br />
After having changed the Language to French, set any control Text property to something different and then the .resx file will be created.
</div>


<div>
ok, I see the resx file now, so I am going to go through the tutorial again. &nbsp;One question when I change the text how do I get it to show up in French? &nbsp;Does the .net framework automatically convert my english text to french?
</div>


<div>
&gt;&gt;Does the .net framework automatically convert my english text to french?<br />
<br />
No. You need to provide translation for everything
</div>


<div>
Is there a 3rd party component that will?<br />

Hello experts, we developed a in house application that needs to be converted to a multiple language format. &nbsp;I invision, the user clicking a button, and have all the text changed to the desired language. &nbsp;For example the user could click on French, and the application would convert to the french language. &nbsp;I have never done this so I don't know the level of difficulty and how easily this can be accomplished in visual studio. &nbsp;I am using .net 3.5 so does this version already have some multilanguage support? &nbsp;If so how would I go about making an application? &nbsp;If not is there a good 3rd part tool or add-in? &nbsp;I am looking for a good place to get started.

I need help making a multi language application.

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
