In this tutorial, you'll learn about ASPNET Globalization. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you understand and apply this topic effectively.
ASP.NET Core localization enables applications to support multiple cultures with resource files, view localization, and data annotations.
// Configure localization
builder.Services.AddLocalization(options => options.ResourcesPath = "Resources");
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews()
.AddViewLocalization()
.AddDataAnnotationsLocalization();
builder.Services.Configure<RequestLocalizationOptions>(options =>
{
var supported = new[] { "en-US", "fr-FR", "de-DE", "es-ES", "ja-JP" };
options.DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture("en-US");
options.SupportedCultures = supported;
options.SupportedUICultures = supported;
});
app.UseRequestLocalization();
// Usage in controller
public class ScanController : ControllerBase
{
private readonly IStringLocalizer<ScanController> _localizer;
public ScanController(IStringLocalizer<ScanController> localizer) => _localizer = localizer;
public IActionResult Index()
{
var message = _localizer["ScanCompleted", fileName];
return Ok(new { message });
}
}
Globalization expands your application's reach by supporting users in their preferred language and regional format.
