Question

I read some post about ASP.NET MVC application, but I found only article on static text. Which is the strategy when the content of a dropdown must change with the language too ?

I have a IList<MyClass>() where MyClass is

public MyClass(){
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Code { get; set; }
        public string EN { get; set; }
        public string FR { get; set; }
        public string ES { get; set; }
}

depending the language of my UI, I have to use EN (English), FR (French), .. values.

Thanks,

You could use this approach :

public class LocalizableModel
{
    private Dictionary<string,string> labels = new Dictionary<string,string> ();
    public string LocalizedLabel
    {
        get { return this.labels[Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName]; }
    }
}

And in Global.asax

protected void Session_Start(Object Sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // set the correct culture, using cookie, querystring, whatever
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(1033);            
}
