Problem with Globalization and Multilanguage web-page

Question

User540168148 posted
Hi, I have this code in my master page (plantilla0.master):

<li>[<asp:HyperLink ID="link_es" runat="server" ToolTip="idioma español" NavigateUrl="index.aspx?lng=es-ES" meta:resourcekey="link_esResource1" Text="es"></asp:HyperLink>]</li>
<li>[<asp:HyperLink ID="link_en" runat="server" ToolTip="idioma inglés" NavigateUrl="index.aspx?lng=en-US" meta:resourcekey="link_enResource1" Text="en"></asp:HyperLink>]</li>
<li>[<asp:HyperLink ID="link_pt" runat="server" ToolTip="idioma portugués" NavigateUrl="index.aspx?lng=pt-PT" meta:resourcekey="link_ptResource1" Text="pt"></asp:HyperLink>]</li>

As you can see there is a resource file associated to manage the language:

default resource file that is in Spanish
plantilla0.master.resx

and another one  in Eglish
plantilla0.master.en.resx

In web.config  I've set <globalization culture="auto" uiCulture="auto"/>

And in pllantilla0.master.cs:

public partial class MasterPage : System.Web.UI.MasterPage

{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (this.Session["idioma"] == null)
        {
            if (Request.UserLanguages[0] != null)
            {
                this.Session["idioma"] = Request.UserLanguages[0];
            }
            else
            {
                this.Session["idioma"] = "es";
            }
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(this.Session["idioma"].ToString());
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(this.Session["idioma"].ToString());
        }
        else
        {
            string lng;
            lng = Request.QueryString["lng"];
            if (lng != null)
            {
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(lng);
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(lng);
                this.Session["idioma"] = lng;
            }
        }
    }
}   

The thing is that this doesn't work... I click to change the language but nothing happens... 
If I execute in debug mode, I verify values in 

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture

they are correct, but at least never change the language of the web
any idea or sugestion???

thanks a lot!

Your code doesn't work because culture info is actually set in a method InitializeCulture() of the page class, but when it comes to masterpage, notice it's a control but not a page, and it's lifecycle is not that integrated as a page: one evidence is that it has no InitialCulture() ~

SO plz try the solution discussed in This Post~
