  If you want to change the language for everyone, then you can do:

  Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(cultureName);
  Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = = new CultureInfo(cultureName);

  Hi,

  you have to tell me more about your site first.

  What is the current language?
  Have you created resource-files for the translation?
  Are you running web forms or MVC?

  Hi, friend

  have a look at this but first you must add local resource file for your additional language with lang pattern such as

  "Login.aspx.ar-Eg.resx"

  using System.Globalization;
  using System.Threading;
  
  public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
  {
      protected override void InitializeCulture()
      {
          base.InitializeCulture();
          if (Request.QueryString["Language"] != null)
          {
              Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(Request.QueryString["Language"]);
              Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(Request.QueryString["Language"]);
          }
      }
      protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
  
      }
      protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          if (DropDownList1.SelectedIndex !=0)
          {
              Response.Redirect(Request.Path+"?Language="+DropDownList1.SelectedValue);
          }
      }
      protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          Response.Redirect("~/Login.aspx?Language=" + Request.QueryString["Language"]);
      }
  }

  <td class="style3">
                      <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" 
                          Height="16px" meta:resourcekey="DropDownList1Resource1" 
                          onselectedindexchanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged" Width="206px">
                          <asp:ListItem meta:resourcekey="ListItemResource1">Select Language</asp:ListItem>
                          <asp:ListItem meta:resourcekey="ListItemResource2" Value="ER-EG">Arabic</asp:ListItem>
                          <asp:ListItem meta:resourcekey="ListItemResource3" Value="EN-US">English</asp:ListItem>
                      </asp:DropDownList>
                  </td>
                  <td>
                      <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" 
                          meta:resourcekey="LinkButton1Resource1" onclick="LinkButton1_Click">Login</asp:LinkButton>
                  </td>
