    Current Culture returns a wrong value

    Hi, I have a multi-lingual website. I've created a structure and I have 2 languages (en-us and da-Dk). The culture and language works fine on most pages, but it one when I check "System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture" it returns "en-GB" :|

    I even tried to changed the language on the page to use da-DK to find the problem, but it still returns "en-GB".

    I am really confused, because there is no GB culture anywhere inside my whole structure. :O

    Where in the code are you checking that? Could it be that the server lang is en-GB?

    Hi Tim, Thanks for the reply. I have a surface controller, and in there I check the culture. (well I want to use GetDictionaryValue but it doesn't work because of wrong culture setting on the thread :|)

    I am testing the solution on my dev machine, and I've only installed en-us and da-dk on my system. (I have iis 8.5 on windows 8.1)

    I have the exact same problem: down in my surface controller the CurrentCulture is always set to the default language, in my case en-US. Have you managed to solve this?

    EDIT: I just managed to solve this, see my post further down.

    Strange indeed, and en-gb isn't setup as a language in Umbraco either?

    Hi Tim, Thanks for reply. I don't have en-GB anywhere. I have 2 languages in Umbraco "English (US)" and "Danish". I don't understand how it find en-GB at all languages

                          // Loop throgh all domains
                             foreach (var cultureitem in Domain.GetDomainsById(NodeId))
                            {
    
                             }

    Hi Ashkan

    Can you retrieve culture on basis of node id as i gave you code above for this

    foreach (var cultureitem in Domain.GetDomainsById(pageId))
                                    {
    
                                            culture = cultureitem.Language.CultureAlias;
    
    }
    

    instead of using Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture

    here why your solution is not working http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13915123/currentthread-currentuiculture-is-set-correctly-but-get-always-en-us

    So you can use umbraco library as i suggested above

    I had the exact same problem: down in my surface controller, the CurrentCulture was always set to the default culture, in my case en-US. However, I managed to solve it through the stackoverflow article mentioned above. The very simple solution was given in the last post by Shreyas. You simply add this to your web.config:

    <system.web>
      <globalization culture="auto" uiCulture="auto"/>
    </system.web>
