To set a Culture (date format, decimal symbol, etc.) simply insert this code to the beginning of the application:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo(“en-GB”)

Remember, if you have a multi-threading application, you must insert this line at the beginning of every thread.

If you want to get the name of a month in a specific language, you should try this code:

Dim myDTFI As Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo = New Globalization.CultureInfo(“ro-RO”, True).DateTimeFormat
Console.Write(myDTFI.GetMonthName(2))

myDTFI.GetMonthName(2) will be “februarie”. Hope this helps you.
