| Guest | force locale that differs from OS current culture In some scenarios I need to be able run my app in a different culture than the one currently active in the OS. For example my app has to display datetime formats, menu/dialogtexts and common dialogs (such as the save as dialog) in englisch while the current culture of the OS is set to german. What are the best practises to solve such a scenario in WPF? |

| Guest | Re: force locale that differs from OS current culture Hello Robert, Common Dialogs are referenced from the OS and so the OS culture is used. You might investigate MUI versions of Windows - I'm not certain, but there might be support to switch to other languages in the case of Common Dialogs. http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/r...e/muizone.mspx Regards Joubert "Robert Ludig" <schwertfischtrombose@gmx.de> wrote in message news:1165998778.697903.292760@73g2000cwn.googlegroups.com... > That does not translate the common dialogs. > > On 12 Dez., 21:05, Laurent Bugnion <galasoft...@bluewin.ch> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Robert Ludig wrote: >> > In some scenarios I need to be able run my app in a different culture >> > than the one currently active in the OS.
