Hi

define it in your web.config

  <system.web>
    <globalization culture="fr-FR" uiCulture="fr"/>

Or in the Global.asax or maybe in your master page if you want to make it dynamic

Sam's suggestion of using web.config settings works great if you know explicitly which language to choose. You can also use Auto to automatically switch into the browser's locale, but that's rarely what you really want.

However if you dynamically want to switch language based on the browser preferences then you need to do this at the Application level. Put the code above into Application_BeginRequest.

There's more info on how to do this at the beginning of this article:

Hope this helps,
