detect os language from c#

Question

Is there a way to detect the Language of the OS from within a c# class?

Answer 1

With the System.Globalization.CultureInfo class you can determine what you want.

With CultureInfo.CurrentCulture you get the system set culture, with CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture you get the user set culture.

Answer 2

Do you mean whether the machine is configured (e.g.) with English, French or Japanese?

Have a look at the CultureInfo class - particularly CurrentCulture, which is initialised from the OS current regional settings.

Answer 3

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
