I am still not sure to understand your process, but from the screenshots you attached, your issue doesn't seem to be related to Silverlight.
It looks more like an ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS server issue. You may have more chance to get an answer by posting your questions on the these forums.

As in the SL API there is no out-of-the-box functionalities to display shapefiles, we would need more infos about your process:

How do you display your shapefiles? What kind of error do you run into?

Like Dominique said, working with shapefiles may require custom code on your part.

When displaying attributes in TextBox/TextBlock, you can look up localization in Silverlight. Here are some links.
