How do I test localization in a winforms application?

Question

Is there a way to test different languages in a Windows application without changing the localization of the OS or adding code to the application to forcibly change the current culture?

Perhaps some type of a launcher that will launch the application with a specified culture?

Answer 1

There is this AppLocale Utility for XP, which can also be installed on vista.

AppLocale automatically detects language for non-Unicode program and simulates a corresponding system locale for code-page to/from Unicode conversions.

Answer 2

You can launch your application with the main thread set to an specified culture.
