Culture Names [C#]
This example shows how to get all culture names in the .NET Framework. Use static methodCultureInfo.GetCultures. To get associated specific culture use static method CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture.
Following code is modified MSDN example (it's just sorted by culture name).
[C#]
// get culture names List<string> list = new List<string>(); foreach (CultureInfo ci in CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures)) { string specName = "(none)"; try { specName = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(ci.Name).Name; } catch { } list.Add(String.Format("{0,-12}{1,-12}{2}", ci.Name, specName, ci.EnglishName)); } list.Sort(); // sort by name // write to console Console.WriteLine("CULTURE SPEC.CULTURE ENGLISH NAME"); Console.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------------------------"); foreach (string str in list) Console.WriteLine(str);
See the console output. Note that culture name for the invariant culture is an empty string. Simplified and Traditional Chinese has no associated specific culture.
