.Net Core Localization

Question

Hi,

In my .NET Core Controller, I'd like to set localization to the value preferred by the client's browser. So, for example, if my #1 language/Culture preference is en-CA (English Canada), I'd like my web server to automatically reflect that.

In prior versions of .Net, this was accomplished via something like the following:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(Request.UserLanguages[0]);

How is that handled in .Net Core?

We are using VS 2017, Windows 10, .Net Core 1.04.

Hi DaveIII,

Welcome to MSDN forum.

Please have a look at the docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/localization

If you have questions about .Net Core, I recommend you go to ASP.NET core forum.

Best regards,

Joyce

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("pt-BR");
            CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
            CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
