Resource files / Language files

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

we used to have a resource file in VB6 and use this as a provider according
to the language a user chose
(English, Dutch, Spanish,....), his interface thus.
In this resource file we had al labelcaptions, texts for messageboxes,
etc... stored,
so when the user chose for an interface in English all menu's etc.. were in
English...

In VB2005 though we would like to show the interface in the language of his
Windows XP SP2,
so if he has an English version, we would open our VB 2005 program and show
all dialogs and menu's in English,
if he has a Dutch Windows we would open the same program with a Dutch
interface.

This gives me trouble twice in VB2005,
first : how do I detect the language of one's Windows ?
second : what about resource files, what happened to them, and how do I
change the interface now... ?

Thanks for helping
