Localizing MMC SnapInSettings

Question

I'm trying to localize

[SnapInSettings("GUID",
    DisplayName = ApplicationName, <-- this
    Description = ApplicationDescription, <-- this
    Vendor = VenderName, <-- this
    UseCustomHelp = true)]

Issue i'm running into is that these get set during compile time. and thus Resources.ApplicationName can't be used.

I've searched the first 10 pages of any google result i get and found some references to localized vs non localized descriptions but never a sample or example.

IS there anyone out there that has done this before? all i really care about is localizing the description.

Noone? so sad. i guess MMC is a forgotten art form. – Puzzle84 Mar 25 '13 at 17:19 — Puzzle84, Mar 25 '13 at 17:19

What i ended up doing is installing the snap-in through a WiX installer. Then in the installer write the registry entries according to the locale of the system.

that seems to do the trick
