How to generically format a boolean to a Yes/No string?

Question

I would like to display Yes/No in different languages according to some boolean variable.
Is there a generic way to format it according to the locale passed to it?

Unfortunately, Boolean.ToString(IFormatProvider) does not help here:

The provider parameter is reserved. It does not participate in the execution of this method. This means that the Boolean.ToString(IFormatProvider) method, unlike most methods with a provider parameter, does not reflect culture-specific settings.

In any case, Booleans represent True and False, not Yes and No. If you want to map True -> Yes and False -> No, you will have to do that (including localization) yourself; there's no built-in support in the framework for that. Your propopsed solution (Resources.Yes/No) looks fine to me.
