Globalization - with Masterpages

Question

User749469198 posted

 hi all,

i want to set two different languages (e.g. en, de) for my webapplication (global - for all pages).
In Masterpage i have a radiobuttonlist with 2 listitems. I have read a lot about
In my web.config i have

 <globalization culture="Auto" uiCulture="Auto"/>

What is the best way (simplest way) to set the language for all pages?
Do i have to use a BasePage Class - is there a way without using basepage
When i use global.asax must i have the web.config entry

 <globalization culture="Auto" uiCulture="Auto"/>

How can i store the actual language in a session

  Thanks a lot

 ok , thanks
so i´ve spent a lot time - to figure out the shortest and best way for me.

here is my solution

 

 Step 1

Creating a BaseClass

    Protected Overloads Overrides Sub InitializeCulture()
        Try
            Dim currentCulture As String = Convert.ToString(Session("userCulture"))

            If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(currentCulture) Then
                currentCulture = currentCulture
            Else
                currentCulture = "en-US"
            End If

            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(currentCulture)
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo(currentCulture)
            MyBase.InitializeCulture()

        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try

    End Sub

Step 2
inherits for e.g. defautl.aspx from BaseClass 
Partial Class _Default
    Inherits BaseClass

End Class
 Step 2

  for example i use a radiobuttonlist to let user change the language
 

    Protected Sub RadioButtonList_Language_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButtonList_Language.SelectedIndexChanged

        Try

            Session("userCulture") = RadioButtonList_Language.SelectedValue
            Server.Transfer(Request.Path)


        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try

    End Sub

 
i hope this will help someone - for me it works perfect

Thanks
