Hi All,

I am converting a static page en-fr. In vs2k5 I use the GenerateLocalResource tool to generate .resx files and copied and renamed in fr.

In my Masteer page, I have a link en/fr, where user get there choice of selection. I create a basepage , global.asax where I am using cookies.

My question is: when a user click on the link en / fr. where I can set the cookie value, is it in Masterpage / global / basepage?

<globalization enableClientBasedCulture="true" culture="fr-FR" uiCulture="fr-FR"/>)

and I have bunches of french written documents to keep in .fr.resx files, Is there any smart way to convert fr word doc to html format

and keep it fr.resx files.

Many thanks

You have to set the cookie in the basepage's (.ASPX) code behind file.

To set culture dynamically, you can use following code in global.asax

protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     CultureInfo c = new CultureInfo("en-GB");
     Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = c;
     Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB");
}

Or, following snippet in your ASPX code-behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     CultureInfo c = new CultureInfo("en-GB");
     Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = c;
     Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB");
}

I suggest you put it in BasePage class as shown in this article:

You will need to manually insert the values in the RESX files, or you can build a tool around it that will capture values from the source files and insert it into RESX file.

Hope this helps,

 In the master page I have the link enlish/french link buttons.
for instance Code for frech in master page is
 public void lnkFrench_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        strLanguge = "fr-CA";
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(strLanguge)) { strLanguge = "fr-CA"; }
        HttpCookie myCookie = new HttpCookie("languageOfChoice");
        myCookie.Value = strLanguge;
        Response.SetCookie(myCookie);
        
    }
and in my baseclass
 protected override void InitializeCulture()
        {
            //Default to Invariant Culture
            string strCulture = string.Empty;
            HttpCookie myAppCookie = Request.Cookies["languageOfChoice"];

            if (myAppCookie != null && myAppCookie.Value != null)
            {
                strCulture = myAppCookie.Value;
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(strCulture);
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(strCulture);
            }

            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(strCulture);
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(strCulture);

            base.InitializeCulture();

        }

and in Gloabal.asax
 void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string strLang = string.Empty;
        HttpCookie myCookie = Request.Cookies["languageOfChoice"];

        if (myCookie != null && myCookie.Value != null)
            strLang = myCookie.Value;
        System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(strLang);
        System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(strLang);
    }
