RegionInfo.DisplayName in a different Language

[Abhishek]

Hi,

If i am working in the office environment then the language of office
can be different the language of windows.
Now in IPM.Contact object in the office environment there's a way to
set the Country Name for address of the contact.
While automating on this object model i want to default the country of
the newly created contact to the current country. Now as i understand
i can get the 2/3 letter ISO code for the country from the RegionInfo
class and if use the DisplayName property on this object then i get
the current country as String in the current language of OS.
However there's a possibility that the language of office is different
then the language of OS and in this case i might be defaulring the
country name to a wrong value (Since sam country name can be displayed
as different strings in different languages)
Is there a way to find the country name in the language of outlook or
in other words any given language.

Any help will be great on this topic....

Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek. To summarize, you want to get the current region based
on the user locale, but the display name based on the Office UI language?

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to consistently manage that via
the RegionInfo class. The missing piece is the Office language translation
of the region name. While the .NET Framework includes English and
native names for all supported regions, only a corresponding language
pack includes the local-market translations for non-native region names.

DisplayName will be in the language of CurrentUILanguage, *if* you have the
localized resources installed.
