Advice creating language settings?

Question

Goal:
Create settings to change language in my C# application.

Problem:
Which best practice, advice, course of action, or similiar should I consider to create this functionality in order to reduce pitfall? Please remember that the langugage can be applied in textbox, label, button etc. Sooner or later I gonna need to add some more language in the future.

Is there any guideline to create technical languge settings in VS 2010?

Beyond the technical advice, additionally choose a "tester" language that all programmers in the team can read/write in order to test that they've configured resources properly and programmed properly to allow for localization. I would suggest Pig Latin or something similar (or like FaceBook's pirate english).

+1 Great tip. I'll have to remember this when I do localization – John McDonald Apr 18 '11 at 21:41
