Report Parameter prompt Localization

I am using RS2000.
Can I Localize the parameter prompt of report. I want the prompt
strings to be taken from my satellite assembly where I will have
localized strings for locales I am supporting in my reports.
MSRS itself localize the string "Select a Value" for the report
parameters combo box, but the prompt for the report parameter also need
to be localized. These prompts always appear in English. This appears
to be half localized report. How can I make it consistent to show
prompts as per the users browser locale?
If not in RS 2000 can i do this in RS 2005 ' How can i achieve this in
RS 2005
If its possible in RS 2005 i can upgrade to RS 2005I'm looking for the same thing. Have you found any info on this matter?
Thanks

There is no culture setting in reports if you are not using Asp.net Report Viewer control but you can create a view with Spanish collation to run the Spanish version of the report. So make sure you use Nvachar or Nvarcha (max) and use Spanish collation in the stored procedure code. Hope this helps.

I have found you some resources which you can use to create your solution and when it is working post your solution so other Winform users can use it.

I have resource file.

I have created a class library with a function that uses resource manager class to get resource and report is localized using resource file

and use that assembly for setting language specific text.

Its easy not a hard work.But the only complicated thing is adding assembly as reference.

if any one need help on referencing assembly.. Here is the link I have used.
