Localize a MasterPage

Question

I have a MasterPage and some controls in it, I also have a dropdown with languages, I'd like to know if theres is way to localize all of the controls within the masterpage because it doesn't have the InitializeCulture method.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I set the Culture in the global.asx file to ensure that all requests have it from the lowest level.

protected void Application_AcquireRequestState(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("en-NZ");
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture;
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;
}

All controls should pick this up through the application.
