Downloaded your examples in the hopes that I would see how you translate the MessageBoxButtons.YesNo enumeration. But the ColorPicker example still shows the buttons with English. Are the buttons just not localizable?

MessageBox.Show actually calls down to the Win32 API. The Windows system locale sets the buttons for the dialog, and I'm pretty sure this is by design since this is a system dialog that one would expect to reflect the locale of the installed operating system. If you poll your customers on this you will probably find they will install the localized operating system for their culture, thus get the correct translation in their system messages.

If you really need to control this behavior, you can always create your own modal dialogs very easily.
