ASP.NET MVC with localization

                   

                 The ASP.NET MVC Framework is a web application framework that implements the model-view-controller pattern.It is a proven pattern for web application

                Implementing localization in ASP.NET is different from ASP.NET MVC.In my previous post I described the better practices to go for  localization in ASP.NET, Now I am going to  explain  how we can achieve localization in ASP.NET MVC 2.0.

Step#1 :

• Add Global Resource folder to your  solution
• Right click on the folder and add new item
• Add resource file in dialog box and rename it “Common Resource”
• In the below picture you can able to see the Global list of Resource files which I have added to my solution

 Step#2:

.      Add the Local Resource folder and add resource  files as I specified below .

                Add  resource keys and there values in resource file .Here I have  taken two resource files.One is en(English)  language and second one is te (telugu).For telugu language I have taken Google Telugu type help   and I have added  those values into telugu  resource file .

 

Step#3

                     Add this code into global.asax .I have added this AcquireRequestState event .It will be better to add in Session Start event to improve the performance .

protected void Application_AcquireRequestState(object sender, EventArgs e)

       {

           CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo(Request.UserLanguages[0]);

           System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;

           System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =

           CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(ci.Name);

       }

<%=ViewRes.SharedResources.EmailID%>

Step#4

                 Right click on the resource file and go to the properties and change the properties values as I showed below.

Step#5

Change the acess modifires internal to  public of each resource file

Run the application

       Before run the project  Change the UI culture in browser settings (I have changed to te[telugu]) .Now you can see the page with telugu language.
