How to: Change the Publish Language for a ClickOnce Application

  • Article

When publishing a ClickOnce application, the user interface displayed during installation defaults to the language and culture of your development computer. If you are publishing a localized application, you will need to specify a language and culture to match the localized version. This is determined by the Publish language property for your project.

The Publish language property can be set in the Publish Options dialog box, accessible from the Publish page of the Project Designer.

Note

The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described in Help depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Visual Studio Settings.

To change the publish language

  1. With a project selected in Solution Explorer, on the Project menu, click Properties.

  2. Click the Publish tab.

  3. Click the Options button to open the Publish Options dialog box.

  4. If you are using Visual Studio 2008 SP1, click Description.

  5. In the Publish Options dialog box, select a language and culture from the Publish language drop-down list, and then click OK.
