Localized System.Windows.Media.Color name

Question

The standard color names are english names, ok. But my Application is german so I would like to have the color names in my ComboBox as german names. Instead of \"Bl

Answer 1

As a follow-up to peetee's question and link to this German page about Netscape color names, I've built a small C# wrapper class that you can drop-into your project.

To use, simply call it something similar to:

string germanName = ColorNameGermanTranslator.GetGermanName(Color.Green);

and you get the German name back. It uses the English name as a fallback.
