# Localization in Windows Forms Form (SfForm)
Localization is the process of translating the application resources into different languages for specific cultures. The SfForm can be localized by adding a [resource](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-studio-2010/aa992030(v=vs.100)) file. The application culture can be changed by setting the [CurrentUICulture](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globalization.cultureinfo.currentuiculture?view=net-5.0) before the `InitializeComponent` method.

# MDI Customization in Windows Forms Form (SfForm)

Multiple Document Interface (MDI) applications allow displaying multiple documents (or forms) in an application at the same time. An MDI parent is a form that contains MDI child windows, which are the sub-windows.
