Remarks

The UI Localization Client is a cross-platform utility sipped as part of DevExpress Subscriptions that allows you to quickly identify non-translated strings of DevExpress UI controls and translate them during a debug session. The utility automatically generates a RESX file(s) with translated resources and adds it to the project.

    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main() {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        CultureInfo culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("de-DE");
        CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = culture;
        CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = culture;
        // Do not remove the following line when using the UI Localization Client.
        DevExpress.Utils.Localization.XtraLocalizer.EnableTraceSource();
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}

VB.NET

Friend Module Program

        ' Do not remove the following line when using the UI Localization Client.
        DevExpress.Utils.Localization.XtraLocalizer.EnableTraceSource()
        Application.Run(New Form1())
    End Sub
End Module
