Master page and sub page - localization issue

I am using Masterpage & my site is primarily in German. I have included globalisation in web.config & also in master page meta:

But, my subpages are not displaying German language.

Where am I going wrong. Please help.

Regards,

Shankar

Re: Master page and sub page - localization issue

No, I have tried using all these. It is not helping.

In my master page, the language is German but subpages inheriting masterpage show some odd characters and not german.

Any other suggestions please.

Re: Master page and sub page - localization issue

Hi, please create a standalone web page without master page to test, and set the culture and UI culture for this page.

Re: Master page and sub page - localization issue

Thanks for your reply.

It works in standalone page. My default.aspx page is not in masterpage & here the language works fine. In masterpage content, it works. But in subpage content it is not working.

Re: Master page and sub page - localization issue

Hi, please add

<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en, de" />

to your first Content in content page which ContentPlaceHolderID="head" and check.

Re: Master page and sub page - localization issue

Thanks again. I have included

<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en, de" />

in the master page. But as per your suggestion I added a ContentPlaceHolder in master page & included

<asp:Content ID="contenthead" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="Server">
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en, de" />
</asp:Content>

in content page. No luck.

Any other suggestions please.

Re: Master page and sub page - localization issue

Hi, rather than adding a ContentPlaceHolder in master page, I means to add

<meta http-equiv="content-language"
content="en, de"
/>

to your content page, like this:

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">

<meta http-equiv="content-language"
content="en, de"
/>

</asp:Content>

Re: Master page and sub page - localization issue

Thanks for the reply. That is what I did. But still not working.

Any other suggestions....

Re: Master page and sub page - localization issue

Hi, please paste your mater page, content page and one standalone page markup here.

Re: Master page and sub page - localization issue

Masterpage:

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

I added the contentplaceholder after you had suggested.

The page:

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/PublicMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="false"
CodeFile="contact.aspx.vb" Inherits="contact" Title="Contact us" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="cc1" %>
<asp:Content ID="contenthead" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="Server">
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en, de" />
</asp:Content>

I have added the asp:Content after your suggestion.

Still the page doesn't work in german.

The page is available in the following link:

myclientssite.recruitmentexchange.com/contact.aspx

You can see that the menu items that are in Masterpage are displaying German characters. But in the content page, below corporate office, the characters are not recognised.

Think I am taking lots of your time. Thanks for supporting.

Re: Master page and sub page - localization issue

I found the problem. In my web.config, based on some blog, I had included the following:

Today I faced another issue where by datetime was displayed in DD-MM-YYYY format. So I tweeked my web.config globalization.

I found that culture=""de-DE" was creating the datetime issue.

After that I removed:

requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" fileEncoding="utf-8"

from the globalization tag & woohooo - I started getting proper German character in my website.

Just wanted to post this here so that someone else with the same issue will not have to break their heads :)

Thanks FightAsABull for your help.

Happy coding.
