App service globalization culture="lv-lv"

Question

Hi,

I recently migrated web app from premise to Azure App service. Today users reported that there is issue with currency label accross all site. After troubleshooting - I found out that if I set culture for application to "lv-lv" in web.config, like this:
<globalization uiCulture="lv" culture="lv-lv" requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />

Then OLD Latvia's currency "Lats" or "Ls" is displayed as currency.
The correct currency is "Euro".

How to solve this?

Best regards,

Hello @Lauris ,

We apologize deeply for the delay in response.

If you're using ASP.NET 4.6, please try this in your web.config :

<configuration>  
    <system.web>  
        <globalization uiCulture="lv" culture="lv-LV" />  
    </system.web>  
</configuration>  

or a second option would be to specify a handler in the Global.asax file which would set the Culture and UI Culture for each request:

 protected void Application_BeginRequest()  
    {  
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("lv");  
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("lv");  
    }  

If your app is running on ASP.NET 5 please read this documentation.

Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Grace
