Localization in Windows Forms xptoolbar control

2 Dec 20246 minutes to read

Localization is the process of making application multilingual by formatting the content according to the cultures. This involves configuring the application for a specific language. Culture is the combination of language and location. For example, en-US is the culture for English spoken in United States; en-GB is the culture for English spoken in Great Britain.

The below code snippet will explain how to set the localize text in German culture.
