The application that we are designing requires translation from English to Arabic.

And I have downloaded language pack for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.

Can any one tell how to use a language pack to do such translations.

Microsoft's language packs only have translations for the frameworks error/messages/text and not your application.

You are responsible for your application translations, read the following on globalization and localization:

OK.
Understood.
But we have many forms.
In that case we have to create many resource files. Isn't it ?

Yes you do, but Visual Studio helps a lot with the files, although translation and form tweaking is up to you.

Ok. Thanks Mehdi Gholam
