copied!<p>Web applications use multiple threads to service a large number of requests. Setting the culture in one thread doesn't mean it will be available in others. </p> <p>Furthermore, the culture used for each request depends on globalization settings in web.config, page-level settings and the end user's language preferences. Even if you set the culture for one request, it will be reset when the thread is reused to service another request.</p> <p>Actually, there is no reason to change the current thread's culture if you want to format for a specific culture. The following code will work without problem:</p> <pre><code>var culture = new CultureInfo("zh-hk"); Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MMMM", culture)); </code></pre> <p>This returns <code>11/十二月</code> (.NET Fiddle <a href="http://dotnetfiddle.net/1L43QO" rel="nofollow">here</a>).</p> <p>Check <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bz9tc508.aspx" rel="nofollow">How to: Set the Culture and UI Culture for ASP.NET Web Page Globalization</a> for the settings you need to set to ensure a specific culture is used for globalization. </p> <p>First, if you want to use "zh-hk" for all pages, you can add the following setting in web.config:</p> <pre><code><system.web> <globalization uiCulture="zh" culture="zh-HK" /> </system.web> </code></pre> <p>Second, if you want to set the culture programmatically on a page, depending on some criteria (eg a query parameter or user profile setting), you can override <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.page.initializeculture.aspx" rel="nofollow">InitializeCulture</a> and set the culture you want in the UICulture and Culture properties.</p> <p>Finally, if you want to create language-specific pages, you can set the culture on each page's Page directive:</p> <pre><code><%@ Page UICulture="zh" Culture="zh-HK" %> </code></pre>
