To change the culture in your program, then you can do it like this:

C#

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("ur");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;

If you are only using .NET 4 and not .NET 4.5
You have to remember to change the Culture in every Thread or Task you are making.

In .NET 4.5, there is a new global way to change all Thread to a new culture.

C#

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("ur");
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = ci;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = ci;

CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture[^]

There is no way to automatically translate your software UI elements, or the database stored strings to any language, let alone urdu. There are machine translations out there - Google translate for example - but there is no way to automatically convert your app or the data it reads.

Any such translation will almost certainly require a good deal of human input.
