How set a culture for entire winform application

I want to set a culture for entire winform application.
How can i do that?
I changed my Program.cs file like this :

Program.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Divar
{
static class Program
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
var culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = culture;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = culture;

Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new RadForm1());
}
}
}


Did i do it right?

This has limited success, so at the top of "Form1" before the InitializeComponent() I placed:

System.Globalization.CultureInfo cultureInfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB");
Application.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-GB");


Is it necessary to add those three lines before the InitializeComponent() in every form?

Main

Set these two in Main to the desired culture:
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture

Main

CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture

CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture

Additionally, you can change Application.CurrentCulture whenever you want to change the culture on the current thread of the application.

Application.CurrentCulture

[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
var culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");

//Culture for any thread
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = culture;

//Culture for UI in any thread
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = culture;

//Culture for current thread (STA)
//no need for: Application.CurrentCulture = culture;

//Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture == Application.CurrentCulture
//no need for: Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;

Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new RadForm1());
}
