Use Localization Manager Helper class to apply the localizable properties

Helper class to implement the localizable properties.

Create a Resource file in the project. You can use the Resource Editor to edit the contents of the resource file.

The resource file helps you to embed strings, images, e.t.c. in one common location and you need to write an interface to retrieve them. 
This makes it easier to maintain the images in the project structure.
 
Add necessary strings with Name and Value.  
Add Images (you can even drag and drop)  
 
And then use the Localization class shown below to retrieve them.

How to use it:
----------------

 
//string
CountryLabel.Text = LocalizationManager.GetValue(ResourceKeyNames.COUNTRYCONTROL_LABEL_COUNTRY);
//image

ErrorBox.Image = LocalizationManager.GetImage(ResourceKeyNames.IMAGE_ERROR);
//Icon 
this.Icon = LocalizationManager.GetIcon(ResourceKeyNames.ICON_APP);
