MM .NET provides the ability to create multi-lingual applications, for both Windows and Web applications. The process of customizing your application for a given culture or locale is known as localizing.

MM .NET contains both hard-coded English strings for English-speaking developers who do not need multi-lingual capabilities, as well as alternate framework logic that retrieves strings from a Message table for developers who do. Even if you don't need the ability to display application messages and text in multiple languages, MM .NET's localization capabilities can be used to display alternate text in labels and message boxes in the same language. For example, this allows your end users at different sites to have different label text displayed for the same forms.
