Is it possible to retrieve a localized name of a country in .NET?
The RegionInfo class has only the EnglishName, DisplayName and NativeName - but it doesn't seem to be possible to get for example the local Danish name for "Austria" which is "Østrig". They will always return the English name, no matter which Culture or UICulture the thread runs with.
Is there a technique I can use, or will I have to create a data store for that?

The localized names are only available if the framework has resources in the required language. Therefore, you need to install the language pack before DisplayName returns the wanted names (with the correct culture set in the application, of course).
Download the danish 3.5 SP1 language pack here (many other languages can be chosen as well).
