Do I understand it right: By changing the language in the combobox, the text _in_ the RTF textbox should automatically be translated? So you want to translate individual text given by the user?

yes i want whenever user select from the combobox then the whole text of rtf will be change with that selection of language
for example
data in rtf is
my name is mohammad nawaz
i am selecting hindi from combobox items
then the rtf should display like
मेरा नाम नवाज़ है

Then you have to develop a translator software. Good luck!

BTW: For me, "localization" or "globalizaiton" means switching the language/culture of the user interface.

Well, that would be too much for a comment. Just some hints/thoughts: It is not only a simple dicitonary. In different languages words can have many meanings. e.g German word "vor": "vor 12 Uhr" means "before 12 o'clock"; vor == before
"Ich stehe vor der Tür" means "I'm standing in front of the door"; vor == in front of
You also have to take care of different conjugations and so on.
It's quite complex..
