Usage of Localization

To localize the Tag Helpers, Bocons uses the CultureInfo set in the current thread.

Use the following code snippet to modify the CultureInfo for the current thread:

// Set current thread language to German
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");

The CultureInfo for your ASP.NET Core web application is best set in the Startup.cs within the Configure method:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    ...

    // Language
    var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("de-DE");
    CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
    CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
}
