As per MSDN - Culture is name for traiditional wotd locale But at som many places, people use phrase like . "I am trying to implement culture and locale" Are they same or different?
View 2 RepliesThis is a pretty basic question. Since browsers have a culture setting that the web app uses to decide which locale to use, should I still have a "language" button for users to be able to override the culture? Why or Why Not? To me it doesn't make sense to have a button there if the user had already set their language in their system.

View 3 RepliesOur application has a database varchar field which at times store datetime values. Code is not formatting the date time values before storing.
Now the issue is coming when we are trying to restore database from our deployment server
to local server and then run the application.Dates are getting stored in format 'dd/mm/yyyy' [ex 31/12/2009] on deployment machine [EN-UK]however when we have restored DB and then try to run application on local server it throws invalid datetime exception, probably because it is expecting
datetime in 'mm/dd/yyyy' format [EN-US] (Dont know why !!).
The code base for our ASP.NET application is deployed into server machines with Regional and local settings as English-UK. However our local servers have regional settings as English-US we changed the regional settings from Control Panel to En-UK however still same error is coming !!
I want to set culture info for my full application. where're i say datetime.now, it should give datetime based on my cultureinfo i set. how do i do it?

View 9 RepliesI have a very simple bilingual site with a link at the bottom that will allow users to switch between the two languages (english/french). the the web.config I have the following line:
<globalization culture="auto" uiCulture="auto" />
This allows for whatever the users browser culture is to be the default lanauge but I'd still like the ablility for them to click a bottom button to toggle. whats the best what to go about doing this?
I'm using the following msdn article to use different languages in my web application:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fw69ke6f(v=VS.80).aspx
I'm following the instructions step by step in VS 2010, and it creates the resource files exactly how it's supposed to. However, when I run the program it just doesn't apply it. I don't see the different values from the resource file.
If I leave my resource file name as sample.aspx.resx, it works. But when I change it to sample.aspx.en-us.resx, it doesn't work. I'm supplying culture from the aspx page's Culter and UICulture properties. I'm being very careful in choosing the correct file name, as that could be the issue, but it just doesn't work. I also tried changing the culture in the backend code this way:
Protected
Overrides
Sub InitializeCulture() [code]....
It still doesn't work.
I'm trying to change the value of the language and culture values via a database entry and then appending the culture to the returned value. IE: "en" is in the database, I add "-CA" via VB code.When I hardcode the values, it does work no problem. However, appding the "-CA" makes it crash with the following error message:
[Code]....
Now, I'm retrieving the language value from a database and, since the information is used all over the web site, I cannot really change the data within the database.The following code is posted in the Default.aspx page, called by the master page.The function "siteSetLanguage" retrieves from the database the base language (EN/FR) and returns the value. Null values are checked for and if a null value is returned from the database, it defaults to EN.[Code]....
I do want to force UICulture to english as everything in the databases and external files are stored through the english canadian regional method. However, I've been trying to use .resx files using the above method, but to no avail.Needless to say, my language files don't seem to work no matter what I do.
I want to have my web site localized to 3 languages english, spanish, french.
Is it possible by clicking the flags on the home page set the globalization culture tweak, in flag image click?
I have an Label where I need to show the value 0.00 if the culture is Englidh and 0,00 if the Culture is french. I am using the following code but it does not work.
string minAmount = "0.00";
DisplayLabel.Text = minAmount.ToString(NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo);
below is what I'd like to do (but i cant because cant convert source type string to target type 'System.DateTime'). I want to localize the account.LastUpdated value from DateTime to localized string and have it available to use in my view. Im getting the account.LastUpdated from a service, which I cant control. what I get back is what i get back. do i extend AccountsViewModel to have additional properties in AccountsViewModelFormatted?

And i have a language flags in my master page. so i have created image button for language flag to perform on click action. where On click of language flag (polish) i like to change the content (English) of my page as per the selected flag click.
hence i have wrote in master page:
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" ImageUrl="../common/images/pol.gif" AlternateText="Polish" />
And in code behind --- ImageButton1_Click
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("pl-PL")
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("pl-PL")
Response.Write(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture)
Dim geturl As String
geturl = Request.Url.ToString()
Response.Redirect(geturl)
here the geturl is print with "pl-PL" but the page content is printed with English language.
I want to change page content also as per flag seletion.

I am working on an ASP.net web application, the application need to display text in English, Chinese and Japanese based on the parameters passed, however the culture settings such as currency symbol, time and number format should remain as en-US locale.
My understanding about ASP.Net localization is a package deal, am I wrong? If I am right, the only way to do this is to roll my own solution?
Can I call Initialize Culture of every page from the Global.asax?
Every page looks at the query string of "?lang=##" and sets the language accordingly. Since all pages do this, is there a place where I can implement it once and all pages will load it?
My site has around 200 pages and I dont want to implement the code in everypage. Would take too long for maintenance and to implement. It would be more convinient if I could simply put it in a function that all pages call when loading.
I've used 3 languages on my site and I've also put 3 Image Buttons. The language image button that you click will allow that language to be seen on the site. What should I write for that command btn (btn1_command event)
but when I cllick language button, culture should change for all pages for only current user.other users can use different culture.how can I
When I was localizing my web application I got one strange doubt.
In the first request i set current thread's current culture to user chosen culture. It worked fine for that particular request. But when i browsed for other page, server rendered content in default english culture. I think the reason meight be "http is stateless" means current request is served by a thread whose culture was set properly. Send request will be serverd another thread which does not about previous thread. So we should once again assign culture to this thread. Localization can be done by setting culture to a session variable.
So my question is what is the benifit that we get by setting culture to current thread. With setting to thread we can show the page in user desired language.
I am working on a multi-language web site. It is half English and half Portuguese. I have created forms that have portuguese values in it. These forms work perfectly on my desktop. I'm using Cassini as the development server. When I move them over to IIS, they are not loading properly. The text comes up all weird looking. I am declaring the culture in the page attribute: Culture="pt-BR"
