Encoding and Localization in the .NET Compact Framework
You can develop your smart device application to be world-ready so it can accommodate localized regional and user interface data. The .NET Compact Framework supports globalization for smart device applications with few limitations. Globalization and local requirements are best addressed early in the design phase of your application.
See the topic "Deploying Device Solutions to End Users" in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 for instructions on packaging the device applications.
