Answer 1

Ok you need to change windows register HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Geo and there you need change 'Nation'

Answer 2

The data is stored in the registry. You need to overwrite these keys.

To know where it's stored in the registry reead this article: http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/registry2/jsi-tip-0311-regional-settings-in-the-registry-

You can use this code

CultureInfo _CultureInfo = new CultureInfo("ru-RU");                
            Application.CurrentInputLanguage = InputLanguage.FromCulture(_CultureInfo);
            Application.CurrentCulture = _CultureInfo;

Answer 4

Try this: System.Globalization.CultureInfo myCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("es-ES");
