small comment - standart controls of C# .NET are always shown in language not Operating System but .NET Framework that is installed in client computer. In the same situation I've made it this way: I've made localizable application and placed on the disk with install package dotnetfx_setup.exe for different languages. So when setup starts and do not finds .NEt framework installed - it tells user to run Framework setup first and tells which file is for which language.
