How to make a vb.net application multi- lingual?

Hi, I am developing a vb.net cinema ticket booking system. The application is to have the option to let the user to choose which language he wants the application interface to be in. (Either English or Mandrain) How should I go about changing the language to display?

I wrote a very simple program that has a sort off similarity. I made custom controls that access background files that are changeable by another part of the program to more languages or correct spelling mistakes.
Control <----->Class <-------> File: XML/DB(Any type that u can use):confused:
In the Database the tables will look something like this
Language1:ManyCaptionMany:1Words(Default Language) :confused: X|I linked the captions to the system settings file for faster and user diffraction settings for different users and machines. Hope it helps; Basic fast and relaible:-D

Do not make custom controls or something like that. All major software products are localized, and hence multi lingual applications are obviously supported by the framework. Unfortunately it's made a bit goofy, but it is still better than a custom solution (as the translation tools work around the goofiness - more or less). Search for "localization" on Google, here on Codeproject etc for information on how to do it for WinForms, ASP.NET (1.1 and 2.0 differs a bit - most of it is manual in ASP.NET 1.1).
