Greetings,

I'm doing a project in MVC (the preview 2) and yesterday I did the localization. Choosing to do it via resources, I managed to quickly set up the translation (created the App_GlobalResources folder, put some named resx's there, put  UICulture="auto" Culture="auto" in my @Page directives, called the texts via <%=Resources.Strings.name%> and presto!).

So far, so good, but now I'd like to explicity choose an idiom (because that's more web 2.0 ) and I'm having troubles with this. What I did was to create an extra action in HomeController that gets an idiom code as id and saves it on session. (this is working) Then, I tried to use the following code, on all controller actions that needed to be translated:

1    if (session["Language.Code"] != null) {
2        string UserCulture = (string)session["Language.Code"];
3            if (UserCulture != "") {
4                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(UserCulture);
5                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(UserCulture);
6            }
7        }
8    }

What is the error you got?

No errors. The code runs, only that it ignores the language change. I already traced that the code actually gets the language code. But the changes are being ignored.

This code runs at controller level, before any other controller logic.

So, any ideas? Anyone? 

Nevermind, I found what was happening: All the @page directives still had the tags UICulture="auto" and Culture="auto"

Of course, this was overwritting the idiom swapping code.
