  Use HttpRequest.UserLanguages or the Headers collection in the Request object - Request.Headers["Accept-Language"].

  The Thread.CurrentCulture Property gets or sets the culture for the current thread, not a client.

  To set current culture according to browser settings, use

  using System.Globalization;
  using System.Threading;
  
  private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
          CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(Request.UserLanguages[0].ToString());
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture =
          new CultureInfo(Request.UserLanguages[0].ToString());
  
      lblToday.Text = Today;
  
      lblMessage.Text = "Culture Info Display Name " +
                        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DisplayName;
  }

  Sminov,

  Thanks for your response.

  Request.UserLanguages[0].ToString(); its good in aspx.cs file but how can we get the language from a class file (without uqerystring concept)

  You mean how to access the Request class?

  System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.UserLanguages[0].ToString();
