Examples

The following example is a console application that iterates through the list of cultures supported by a Web site and sets the current thread's CurrentUICulture to each one, in turn. For each supported culture, the application prints the name of the culture and the value of the Title property in that culture.

namespace ConsoleApp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("https://localhost"))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
                {
                    SPField field = web.AvailableFields[SPBuiltInFieldId.User];

                    string formatString = "{0, -20} {1}";
                    Console.WriteLine(formatString, "CurrentUICulture", "Title");

                    foreach (CultureInfo culture in web.SupportedUICultures)
                    {
                        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture;
                        Console.WriteLine(formatString, culture.Name, field.Title);
