.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Internationalization / November 2005English Culture Setting for non English Countries
Hello I am trying to create a web app which uses localized pages. I don't know how to take care of Culture setting of some of the countries which use English for their website but Culture Info does not show English for them e.g. Singapore is zh-SG How do I take care of this situation? What is the best practice? Thanks Tarun In .NET Framework 2005, you can create your own custom cultures. See this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/10/Globalization/default.aspx and you can find further information in the Visual Studio 2005 documentation by searching on "custom culture". Custom cultures were created to allow people to support cultures which don't have support in the .NET framework. You can do some workarounds to create a pseudo custom culture in 2003, but it was not a supported feature and there were problems with cultures clashing when using these workarounds. If you need to create a custom culture, then 2005 is a much better choice. > Hello > I am trying to create a web app which uses localized pages.

Consider Singapore where .net says zh-SG assuming chinese is the language. Whereas Client want and English site, say en-SG, which does not exist in the framework. We already have several implementation of 2003 and my client may not agree to upgrade to 2005. Any other suggestion / alternative. Tarun Prior to the 2.0 version of the .NET Framework, there is no supported way to get such a locale created. But to be perfectly honest, the culture only provides defaults, and you can support any language you want no matter what the setting is. So ven if you do not have an en-SG culture, you will have no problem supporting either the language or the region.

Some insight into how I can implement it. Thanks for the responses Regards Tarun How you can implement English language support? It is already built tin. Is there some specific feature that appears to be missing?
