Change localization at execution WPF

I have a WPF application that I want it to be two languages. I duplicated my Resources.resx and built my two languages like this:

enter image description here

So when I first load my MainApplication I do this:

Properties.Resources.Culture = new CultureInfo("es-ES");

before the 

InitializeComponent();

So everything is loaded in the desired language. Now I want to go the obvious step further, and I designed a Select language on my application:

enter image description here

Any idea on how to reload the interface for the different languages at execution time?

EDIT:

I found this link, and seems to work. But I have a problem. When I try to find the Resources x:key it launches an error... It says ResourceReferenceKeyNotFoundException. Go here to check my mistake.

You want to change the culture for the UI thread, this should work:

var culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture;
FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(FrameworkElement), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(XmlLanguage.GetLanguage(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.IetfLanguageTag)));
