.NET | WPF - Localization

The following describes how I localized a WPF application:

I created a folder and put .NET .resx files in it. The default language was called Lan.resx; the localized one was called Lan.nl-BE.resx.

Then I added a class called Culture, containing a function called GetCulture() that returns a new Resources.Lan(), and a function called Set(CultureInfo culture) that sets the culture of the current thread by doing Thread.CurrentThread.Current(UI)Culture = culture.

In the App.xaml I added an application resource as follows:

<ObjectDataProvider x:Key="Lan" ObjectType="{x:Type this:Culture}" MethodName="GetCulture" />

To change the culture I can then do:

Culture.Set(culture);
((ObjectDataProvider)App.Current.FindResource("Lan")).Refresh();

Finally, controls are localized using statements like this:

{Binding Path=Options, Source={StaticResource Lan}}
