hi,

I am writing a multilinguale desktop application and now I want to take
screenshots from the application for the documentation. But I need to
take the Screenshots in several languages. What do I have to do to force
my application e.g. to start in french language?

Regards

Michael

If you can change the app, then there are Thread.CurrentCulture and
Thread.CurrentUICulture.

You can set it using Thread.CurrentCulture o CurrentUICulture

I guess this should be set before the form creates the controls. so
you should call it in the constructor of the form

For localization testing purposes, I usually make my WinForms apps
understand a command-line switch such as "/culture:", and set
CurrentUICulture accordingly on the very first line of Main():

foo.exe /culture:fr-FR

Power users sometimes also appreciate the ability to override the
default UI locale for their OS.

Thanks,

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");

works fine.
