Hi,

try like below.

C#

System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ar");
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;

"ar" specifies, its arabic. Its the culture name for arabic.

the above code will create the new culture and that will be added to your thread. in your case will be suitable, the culture is active till the thread exists.

more on CultureInfo is here

hope it helps.

i want to install telugu,hindi,arabic languages from region and language settings through c# coding

That is what the cultureInfo class does. that will change your system culture temporarily across the specified thread, into the new culture you specify. culture includes everything like, language, date time format etc.
