Hi @kf,

Does it only display the asp calendar in Chinese, or does the page content display all in Chinese?

You'd better provide your code and configuration files so we can check.

Language settings of OS and Visual Studio do not matter. It is important to set the Culture and UICulture to "auto" and browser's Preferred Languages setting to English.

Please don't continue to comment on my answer. Have you tested it? I say this because I tested it.

If OP change PC, OP's same code can be displayed in English. So I guess it's probably because of environmental issues.

Hi @kf,

Currently, my whole project is also facing the same issue. But when I transfered the project to another pc, it displayed in english.

Based on the latest information you provided, I guess your Windows display language is Chinese?

If it's in Chinese, maybe you can change it to English.

Check:

Or you can set the culture to English directly in the page(Culture="en-US" UICulture="en-US").

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" Culture="en-US" UICulture="en-US" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebFormDemo.WebForm1" %>

Keep in mind that the question is about the Calendar control of ASP.NET Web Forms application and the locale of web server is usually out of control in such case that French deployed the ASP.NET app to the web server located in the US.

Also keep in mind that clients form various countries with different languages will probably access to the web site. When the Culture and UICulture is set to "auto" in the ASP.NET app and the Preferred Languages of client’s browser is set to give his language first priority the Calendar control is shown in his language.

Hi @kf,

Have you checked the Windows display language?

Have you tried the second method I provided.

Or you can set the culture to English directly in the page(Culture="en-US" UICulture="en-US").

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" Culture="en-US" UICulture="en-US" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebFormDemo.WebForm1" %>

What I search on Google the only way was to add the configuration on the web.config:
<globalization uiCulture="auto" culture="auto"/>

but I will need to add this line to all the projects.
I tried the page method and it works but need to add it to all the pages.
If no other methods then I will just use this method.

As I mentioned in my comment under my answer, why don't you try it by yourself?

Addition of <globalization culture="auto" uiCulture="auto" /> to the web.config directly under the application root shall work.

Try to set the Culture and UICulture in the @Page directive to "auto" as shown below:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" 
    CodeBehind="Calendar.aspx.cs" 
    Inherits="WebForms1.Calendar"
    Culture="auto"
    UICulture="auto" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <h2>Calendar Control</h2>
        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
        <p>Default</p>
        <asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server"></asp:Calendar>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

When the Preferred Languages is set to give English the first priority and the browser sends the Accept-Language header as shown below;

enter image description here

The result will be as follows:
