# How to Localize Labels in WPF Chart Control

Localization of the [**WPF Chart**](https://www.syncfusion.com/wpf-controls/charts) can be customized by using the [**CurrentUICulture**](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globalization.cultureinfo.currentuiculture?view=netcore-3.1) property in the WPF Chart. You can change the language by assigning the culture name of the desired language to this property.

## Set Current UI Culture to the Application

 

 ```

public MainWindow()

{

    InitializeComponent();

    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-FR");

} 

 ```

## Steps to localize based on CurrentUICulture using Resource files

1.	Create new folder, named as Resources in the application.

2.	Right-click on the Resources folder, select Add, and then click New Item. In the Add New Item dialog, select the Resource File option and name the file as `Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF..resx`. For example, name it as `Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF.fr-FR.resx` to add localization support for the French language.

3.	The culture name that indicates the name of language and country.

4.	Now, add the Name/Value pair in Resource Designer of Syncfusion.SfChart.WPF.fr-FR.resx file and change its corresponding value to the corresponding culture.
