Cuong C. Nguyen 0

Our website is supported a custom language en-CN. It is worked on Premise after I applied register for en-CN It is required to add to the OS.

I tried to find it like (System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultures(System.Globalization.CultureTypes.AllCultures).Any(ci => ci.Name.Equals("en-CN"))).
But can' found. How can we add a custom culture like en-CN to Azure App service?

Hi @Cuong C. Nguyen
Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Create Resource Files:

Create a folder named Resources in your project.

Inside this folder, create the following resource files:

Resources.en.resx for English strings.

Resources.en-CN.resx for your custom culture's strings.

Add Localized Strings:

Open each .resx file and add your key-value pairs for localization. For example:

Key: Welcome, Value in Resources.en.resx: Welcome

Key: Welcome, Value in Resources.en-CN.resx: 欢迎

Configure Localization in Startup.cs:

In the ConfigureServices method, add localization services:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {     services.AddLocalization(options => options.ResourcesPath = "Resources");     services.AddControllersWithViews()         .AddViewLocalization()         .AddDataAnnotationsLocalization(); }

Configure Request Localization Middleware:

In the Configure method, set up the localization options:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env) {     var supportedCultures = new[] { "en", "en-CN" };     var localizationOptions = new RequestLocalizationOptions()         .SetDefaultCulture(supportedCultures[0])         .AddSupportedCultures(supportedCultures)         .AddSupportedUICultures(supportedCultures);     app.UseRequestLocalization(localizationOptions);     app.UseRouting();     app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>     {         endpoints.MapControllerRoute(             name: "default",             pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");     }); }

Use Localized Strings in Views and Controllers:

To use the localized strings, inject IStringLocalizer into your controllers or views. For example, in your HomeController:

public class HomeController : Controller {     private readonly IStringLocalizer<HomeController> _localizer;     public HomeController(IStringLocalizer<HomeController> localizer)     {         _localizer = localizer;     }     public IActionResult Index()     {         ViewData["Message"] = _localizer["Welcome"];         return View();     } }

Deploy Your Application:

After making these changes, deploy your application to the Azure App Service.

Testing:

Navigate to your application and test the localization by changing the culture. You can typically do this by appending a culture parameter to your URL (like ?culture=en-CN), or by configuring your application to detect user preferences.
