WM5 PPC, .Net CF 2

I have resources for 2 languages in my application. I have a general
.resx file for the complete project and a .resx file for each form.
Changing the regional settings on my phone worked fine. The application
changed its language. But suddenly this stopped working. I assume
because I'm missing some resources or so. How can I check what's going
wrong?

It turned out I had 1 form that was not 'localization' enabled. Still,
is there a better way to find out why localization isn't working? Trial
and error can be very time-consuming.

I have a similar issue with an application (WM5/.NET CF 2.0).
In my case the ressource files are working correctly if I deploy the
application to the device from within Visual Studio 2005.
If I deploy the application to the device using a CAB file only one language
is used.

In my case I don't think the ressource files (.dll) are build correctly into
the cab file. It seems that the ressource file from one language is used to
build the dll's for all languages.
The inf file for the cab project looks OK to me.

Is this your experience too?

Regards,
Mikael
