Once you've created resource files for your application, you will need to set the supported cultures for your project. To do so, complete the following steps:
    - In the Solution Explorer, right-click your project and select Unload Project. The project will appear grayed out and unavailable.
 
    - Right click the project again, and select the Edit ProjectName.csproj option (or Edit ProjectName.vbproj, where ProjectName is the name of your project).        
 
    - In the .csproj file, locate the <SupportedCultures></SupportedCultures> tags. In between the tags, list the cultures you want to be supported, separating each with a semicolon.        
        
For example:
        
<SupportedCultures>fr;es;en;it;ru</SupportedCultures>
        This will support French, Spanish, English, Italian, and Russian.
     
    - Save and close the .csproj or .vbproj file.
 
    - In the Solution Explorer, right-click your project and choose Reload Project from the content menu.
 
The project will be reloaded and will now support the specified cultures.
