Hi,
I’m using cookie based localization. When I change the culture, IViewLocalizer is working but Annotation errors stays the starting culture. I need to rerun the application. How can I solve this?

Hello…. this is perfect for a mulilingual site, however, I have developed a site that is to be used only by Spanish speaking users. How can the default ASP.NET core messages be shown in Spanish? For example, if user is changing password and he uses one that not meets the complexity requirements, these errors are shown: “Passwords must have at least one non alphanumeric character, Passwords must have at least one lowercase (‘a’-‘z’), Passwords must have at least one uppercase (‘A’-‘Z’).”

When I developed in .NET Framework, those kind of messages appear correctly in Spanish. How can I achieve the same in .NET Core 6?

Thanks
Jaime

Hi Phil, thanks for the suggested links. Jürgen Gutsch recently wrote article in which he explained one solution to this problem – http://asp.net-hacker.rocks/2022/10/25/aspnetcore-globalization.html

Hi Branislav,

Glad you enjoyed the article! Unfortunately, setting the culture code in the URL instead of a query string would require quite a bit of extra work. You could add a custom route template that includes the culture, but this would require you to add a parameter to each endpoint to retrieve and set the culture.

I haven’t implemented this myself, but I did find some examples of how you could do it:

Hi Carlo. Glad you liked the article and great to hear you got sorted with your issue!

As we are using the folder organization for naming our resource files, we need to follow the same for partial views, such as _Layout.cshtml.

My _Layout.en.resx was not under Resources\Views\Shared. Now it’s working !

Great article! Nice overview of different ASP.NET Core interfaces to provide localization in different files. What about providing culture code in URL instead of query string (e.g. /en/Localization/LocalizedView), how would you achieve that?

Thanks!

Hey Emmanuel. Glad you enjoyed the article!

You are indeed correct that the default template does not include controllers – that was my mistake. We will look to update the article to reflect this.

Do you mean the LocalizationController was missing the AspNetCore.Mvc.Localization namespace as a using statement, or there was no project namespace defined? If it is the latter, we usually avoid adding this filler code in our snippets, but as always you can find the full source code on our GitHub: https://github.com/CodeMazeBlog/CodeMazeGuides/tree/main/aspnetcore-features/Localization
