[WPF] KeyGesture.GetDisplayStringForCulture() does not provide a localized string
This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.
[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work]
Contrary to what its name suggests, the function GetDisplayStringForCulture(CultureInfo) in the class System.Windows.Input.KeyGesture does not return a localized string.
After looking into the source code, the problem can be tracked down to the ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext, CultureInfo, object, Type) method of the System.Windows.Input.KeyConverter class, which does not use its CultureInfo parameter.
Workaround (not ideal): use WinForms, as suggested by this StackOverflow answer. This works because System.Windows.Forms.KeysConverter properly translates the special keys.
