Localizing and globalizing with ASP.NET Core
In Chapter 7, Handling Dates, Times, and Internationalization, you learned about working with dates, times, and time zones, and how to globalize and localize a .NET codebase.
In this section, we will look specifically at how to localize a website that uses ASP.NET Core.
As well as localizing string values into languages like French and Spanish using IStringLocalizer, you can localize HTML content using IHtmlLocalizer, but this should be used with care. Usually, HTML markup should be the same for all locales. For views, you can use IViewLocalizer.
Request localization means that the browser can request what culture it prefers in the following ways:
- Add a query string parameter, for example,
?culture=en-US&ui-culture=en-US. - Send a cookie with the request, for example,
c=en-US|uic=en-US. - Set an HTTP header, for example,
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9,fr-FR;q=0.8,fr;q=0.7,en-GB;q=0.6.
