I created a user control with a description attribute for these properties.

When I test the user control, these descriptions appear correctly in the property grid.

The description attribute is in French.

I would like to be able to change it dynamically depending on a language choice, for example in English.

How can we change this?

    The string to be displayed are changed by referring to CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.Name.

    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Globalization;
    
    class SRDescriptionAttribute : DescriptionAttribute
    {
        public string EnString { get; }
        public string JpString { get; }
    
        public SRDescriptionAttribute(string enString, string jpString) {
            EnString = enString;
            JpString = jpString;
        }
    
        public override string Description {
            get {
                switch (CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.Name) {
                    case "en-US":
                        return EnString;
                    case "ja-JP":
                        return JpString;
                }
                return EnString;
            }
        }
    }
    

    It is used like this.

    class TestUserControl : UserControl
    {
        [SRDescription("English", "日本語")]
        public int Prop1 { get; set; }
    }
