Remarks

The Register method stores a custom culture as a file on the local computer, in the Globalization subdirectory of the directory returned by the Win32 GetWindowsDirectory function. This process is called registering the custom culture. After the custom culture is registered, a new custom culture can be created by specifying the culture name in a CultureInfo constructor or when calling the CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture method.

The custom culture can be removed by calling the Unregister method.
