copied!<p><strong>Changing the <code>CurrentCulture</code> doesn't work</strong> as the information comes from the registry (XP) or from the Multilingual User Interface (MUI) DLL (Vista, Windows 7).</p> <p>On Vista or Windows 7, you may install other languages and change the display language (<em>Region and Language</em> -> <em>Keyboards and languages</em> -> <em>Display language</em>). A reboot is required. This, and only this, will actually change the language used in <code>TimeZoneInfo</code>.</p> <p>On Windows 7, only Ultimate and Enterprise allow the installation of other languages - by means of installing <em>Multilingual User Interface Packs</em>.</p> <p>Once you installed other languages, you should be able to find the DLLs in the <em>system32</em> folder (look for <code>tzres</code>) and maybe export the resources with Visual Studio.</p> <p>As to <strong>credible/official sources</strong> - how about <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bclteam/archive/2007/06/07/exploring-windows-time-zones-with-system-timezoneinfo-josh-free.aspx">an article on msdn of the BCL Team</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>...the display strings are loaded either from the <strong>Multilingual User Interface (MUI) DLL</strong>, tzres.dll, or straight from the registry, when MUI support is unavailable. MUI-enabled operating systems such as Windows Vista contain <code>MUI_Display</code>, <code>MUI_Std</code>, and <code>MUI_Dlt</code> keys, which are indirectly controlled by the operating systems regional settings. On down-level platforms such as Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, only the <code>Display</code>, <code>Std</code>, and <code>Dlt</code> keys exist. <strong>The <code>Display</code>, <code>Std</code>, and <code>Dlt</code> key values are localized only in the default language of the operating system.</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>So what did they write about <code>CurrentUICulture</code> ?</p> <blockquote> <p>Because of the Windows time zone registry architecture, <strong>CurrentUICulture settings do not impact the values of these TimeZoneInfo properties</strong>.</p> </blockquote>
