Ok, maybe i should give you some more details. I did the following:

1. Created a new Project with Visual Studio.

2. Put some Labels and Buttons on the Form.

3. Made the Form Multilingual and added resources for Englisch and
German in Visual Studio through the Resources Editor.

4. Added some Code to change the language at runtime (see below).

5. Compiled the Project and everything was as i expected.

6. Took the English resource file (text version .resx) and used this to
create a French resource file with an external editor.

7. Compiled the French resx file with the following command:
             ResGen.exe Form1.fr-FR.resx
   into "Form1.fr-FR.resources"

8. Next i linked this file with the following command:
        al.exe /culture:fr-FR    
    /out:bin\Debug\fr-FR\InternationalApplication.resources.dll    
    /embed:Form1.fr-FR.resources    
    /template:bin\Debug\InternationalApplication.exe

9. Then i put resulting DLL in "bin\Debug\fr-FR\"

10. Tried to start. Everything was ok, but instead of loading the
French Resources when i select them the default is loaded.

Here is the only code i added. It is very simple:

public partial class Form1 : Form
   {
       private SortedList cultures;

       public Form1()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
           MoreInitialisation();
       }

       private void MoreInitialisation()
       {
           ResourceManager res = new ResourceManager(typeof(Form1));
           Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(Form1));
           String dir =
        System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(assembly.Location);

           cultures = new SortedList();

           foreach(string dname in    
              System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(dir, "*"))
           {
               try
               {
                   System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = new
                   CultureInfo(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(dname));
                   try
                   {
                       Assembly satellite =
            assembly.GetSatelliteAssembly(ci);
                       cultures.Add(ci.DisplayName, dname);
                   }
                   catch(FileNotFoundException)
                   {
                   }
               }
               catch(ArgumentException)
               {
               }
           }
           foreach(String info in cultures.Keys)
           {
               this.toolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.Items.Add(((String)info));
           }
       }

       private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           CultureInfo info = new    
CultureInfo(Path.GetFileName((String)cultures[this.toolStripComboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()]));

           Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = info;

           this.Controls.Clear();
           InitializeComponent();
           MoreInitialisation();
       }
   }

My suggestion is that i miss some code for explicitly loading the
satellite assembly in the "button1_Click" method.
