Silverlight localization - how to override windows culture?

I read this in "CLR via C#" book by Jeff Richter: (about CurrentUICulture) By default, when you create a thread, this thread property is set to a CulterInfo object, which identifies the language of the Windows version the application is running on using Win32 GetUserDefaultUILanguage function. If you are running a Multilingual User Interface (MUI) version of windows, you can set this via the "Regional and Language Options" Control Panel settings. On a non-MUI version of Windows, the language is determined by the localised version of the OS installed (or the installed language pack) and the language is not changeable.

Ive read CLR via C# but I don't think this is related to my problem or silverlight localization.. – Valentin Kuzub Jul 21 at 5:57.

I use this in my silverlight view constructor, not in the App constructor: //seting language for currency and datetime string sDefaultLocalization = "ru-RU"; Thread.CurrentThread. CurrentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread. CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(sDefaultLocalization); this.

Language = XmlLanguage. GetLanguage(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture. Name).

Language is more related "To properly display Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text, Silverlight needs to know which language it is displaying, because the same Unicode characters are displayed differently depending on language. " I believe. Other than that I got same code setting Thread.CurrentThread.

CurrentCulture in my question that should be working.. – Valentin Kuzub Jul 21 at 6:09.

I have added new en specific culture resource and it has solved the problem. However now I got english resources duplicated - they are default & same go into en-US specific resource. I believe there must be a way to remove such duplication.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
