Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC4 Application. I use ninject for DI and WebActivator to setup the environment.

Inside the Start method, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture reads correctly from the web.config as “es-DO” which is the declared locale:

 public static void Start() 
    {
        DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(OnePerRequestHttpModule));
        DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(NinjectHttpModule));
        Bootstrapper.Initialize(CreateKernel);

    }

Inside the PostStart method where I set routes and minification bundles the locale changes to “en-US”. Which I assume is the default locale

 public static void PostStart()
    {
        ValidationSettings.UnobtrusiveValidationMode = UnobtrusiveValidationMode.None;

        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes();
        GlobalFilterConfig.RegisterFilters();
        BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
        AuthConfig.RegisterAuth();
    }

Does anyone know why this happens? the BundleConfig.RegisterBundles method relies on the Culture information to load the corresponding javascript files.

We fixed it like this:

//Hack to set the culture again to the one defined on the web.config
        var config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/");
        var section = (GlobalizationSection)config.GetSection("system.web/globalization");
        if(section != null)
        {
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(section.Culture);
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(section.UICulture);
        }
