Yes, the built-in multilingual support in WinForms is dependant on culture
names (like "en-US").  If you wanted to use the built-in functionality
you'd have to create and install your own locales.

I've seen people use dictionaries, as Paul mentioned.  I've also seen
people use database lookups, write classes to wrap XML files that contain
the contextual text, and use Settings.settings.

If it were me, I'd consider keeping the text in the resources and have
some sort of wrapper or adapter for the Properties.Resources class to get
the right text based on the context.
