Q: 

Howto install single language of multilingual winforms application

Hi all,

I have a winfroms application, which I need to support in multiple languages. I would love to have a possibility to offer to the user during the installation setup (default Visual studio setup project) selection of a language he wants to install. Afterwards, application will use this language rather than choosing language based on system language.

Currently, I have application localized with standard winfroms localization + some custom resources for messages. This will produce satellite assemblies for me.

What would be the best practice for what I would like to achieve?

Best, Jozef

A: 

On a first shot i would save the selected language in the registry or the .config file.

Then within the program.cs before starting Application.Run() i would read this information and change the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture to this setting.

Yep, thanks Oliver that would do it.Do you have one more hint for the case where I do not want to have satellite assemblies ... if only one language is desired I do not need others, just one default language with resources build in in assembly just like the default case... Is it somehow doable?
