Available NuGet Packages
Telerik UI for WPF comes with a several different packages that can be installed via the Telerik server or from a local package source.
The Telerik dlls are built against different versions of .NET starting from .NET 4 to the latest official .NET. Additionally, the dlls can be separated into two categories - Xaml and NoXaml. This creates a big set of assemblies that can be downloaded which are also available as nuget packages.

NuGet Packages and Controls Localization
The Telerik controls have a built-in localization support. To enable this, the corresponding satellite assemblies should be presented in the folder where the Telerik assemblies are installed. These assemblies are available when you install the product using the full NuGet packages. The separate packages don't include the satellite assemblies. To support localization properly, these dlls should be installed. To do so, use also the separate packages with the language resources.
The separate package with the language resources is named Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.<language code>. For example, Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.fr will include the French resources. Telerik.Windows.Controls.for.Wpf.de will include the German resources, and so on.
Installing Latest Internal Build NuGet Packages
You can install and test the Latest Internal Build (LIB) dlls provided on a weekly basis, via the NuGet Package Manager. The LIB nugets are available only as .nupkg files that can be downloaded from your telerik.com account. This means that you will need to create a local package source and copy the files there. You cannot download LIB dlls via the online Telerik nuget server (https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json](https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json, because they are not available there.
When you set up the package source and place the NuGet files there, you can find them in the NuGet Package Manager. To see the LIB packages you will need also to check the Include prerelease option. The LIB packages have the -hotfix postfix in the version field.
