Override Localized Resource Resolution Hierarchy

[Guest]

Is it possible to override the resource resolution hierarchy of the windows
forms resource manager? Basically, I want to create multiple resource files
underneath each culture so that an application can have multiple form layouts
for each supported culture. Then whenever a form is created, I would like to
have the resource manager check the current user interface culture and then
some custom application defined parameter to determine which of the
additional culture specific resource files to load. Also along these same
lines, can the list of languages for the System.Windows.Forms.Form class be
modified to include additional items so that the creation of the additional
culture specific resources can be done from within the forms designer?

Hi,

Based on my understanding, you want to store several copies of localized
resource in Winform application, then display certain cultrue resource for
the user UI. If I misunderstand you, please feel free to tell me.

Winform has provided the function of doing localization for different
cultrue and languages, for more information, please follow the walkthrough
below:
"Walkthrough: Localizing Windows Forms"

vbwlkwalkthroughlocalizingwindowsforms.asp

Also, at design-time, we may use the Designer to control the localization
of the form, please refer to:
"Improving Performance of Localized Forms"
http://windowsforms.net/articles/localizationfilter.aspx

Hope this helps
