Answer 1

Have you checked the local of the user running the application on the hosted server.

Answer 2

Hi,

Do you develop a 2-tier or 3-tier LS application? This message is returned from Microsoft.LightSwitch.Server assembly. If you're developing 3-tier LS application this behavior is normal if the culture of the end user machine is different from the server machine.

To resolve the problem, if you're using IIS7 you can refer to below article to change the globalization setting of the service web site:

Answer 3

Hi,

Allen: This is a 3-tier LS application.
I change the settings on the NET Localization page to Spanish, but part of the error messages is still in English.

One interesting note:
I published the same app; one as a Desktop and the other as a Web. 
The Desktop app displays the error messages ok. (All the sentence is in Spanish), but the Web app displays the first section of the messages in Spanish and the last in English.

Glenn: I checked the local regional setting of my PC and they are in Spanish.

I’m using Windows 7 Spanish version, IE9 Spanish, Chrome Spanish.

Thanks

Hi,

I think only the message you highlighted is returned from web server. Others are from client assemblies so they are Spanish (client gets the error message from server and knows there is a validation error so grab string resources from it's assembly to show validation error occurred text, then show the error message returned from server).

The problem now is it seems the setting you changed in IIS doesn't help to change the culture of server app. I just tried. The culture you use could not be found on my side. I think for Spanish you should use Spanish (es). Based on my test after setting this the server returns exactly the same message mentioned in the first screenshot you posted. Could you try it?

Answer 5

Hi,

My mistake.

On my first attempts I publish in Culture=English then I changed the Culture to Spanish but when updating the web site via FTP with the next builds I always leave the original web.config file.

That way I don’t have to modify the connection strings in the web.config each time I publish

So the original web.config file had this line "ApplicationCulture" value="en-us" I changed it to "ApplicationCulture" value="es" and everything is normal again

Thanks for your help and sorry for any inconvenience
