attribute do we set - uiCulture or Culture or both? thank u =)

UICulture:

CultureInfo:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...fSystemGlobalizationCultureInfoClassTopic.asp

The CultureInfo class allows you to specify a geographical region based code
which allows the app to format things like currency using the correct
symbols (and time).

The UICulture is for the ResourceManager to look up stored strings (UI text
stored in different languages - you must do the translation and storage) for
the language you specify. So if you have "test" translated into Japanese and
Mexican languages and stored as resources, then you can use the UICulture to
look up the correct "test" translation after you specify which language to
get.

Hope this helps!
