In .NET 2.0, you can create your own culture, optionally based on others. Take a look at CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder class in sysglobl.dll (in the GAC). You may also want to take a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404375.aspx to know how to save cultures without admin privileges.

Yes, the built-in multilingual support in WinForms is dependant on culture names (like "en-US"). If you wanted to use the built-in functionality you'd have to create and install your own locales. I've seen people use dictionaries, as Paul mentioned. I've also seen people use database lookups, wr
