Multilingual application?
I need to write multilingual application (two languages). That's means labels, buttons and other objects on forms display in language which user can select. Generally, how to do that?
p.s. this n-tier (3-tier) application with central database on remote machine

Re: Multilingual application?
Keep in mind that translating labels will not resize your controls.
What you can do is
1. Set the localizable property in the form you are working on to TRUE and change the language from default to the language you are translating it to.
2.After you've selected the language you may then change the text and size and anything else you need to change.
3. When you are done with your changes set the localizable property on the form back to default.
This will automatically generate the resource files for the form in each language you've worked with in your form (no need to manually rename the forms). This is lighter in the end, since the assemblies will only contain the localizable information.
Your application will be loaded in the correct language according to the user's OS settings.
Hope this helps
