How can I create a CultureInfo object from that? CultureInfo using such codes EN-US EN-GB and so on.
If there is a tables that will do the connection between country code (US) to "EN" language, then the problem solved. untill I cannot doing the conversion and get "EN" value I cannot create CultureInfo object, which is the object needed to work multilangual with ASP.NET

I hope I am clear.
