Localization Guidance Wanted

I am creating a new ASP.NET 2.0 Web site with that will use language
localization. I have been doing some reading and am looking for the best
way to approach this. Here are some of the considerations I am dealing
with:

I want to let the user see the correct language based on their browser
setting when they come to the web site the very first time. Then once they
have a user name and password for our site if they choose to change the
default language to see the site in I want to show it to them in that
language from now on regardless of what their browser settings are.

I want to be able to separate language from currency. For instance I want
to let viewers view the site in Spanish but keep the currency in the form
the entire site uses, say dollars. This way users within a company will all
use the same currency but may select the language they feel most comfortable
with.

Advice, links, samples, etc. would all be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I encounter a problem with Localization features in ASP.NET 2.0. Is seems that the framework is not able to manage neutral cultures such as 'fr', or 'de'. Those are the culture sent by default from a french or German Internet Explorer in France or Germany. There is a runtime error "System.NotSupportedException: Culture "fr" is a neutral culture. It can not be used in formatting and parsing and therefore cannot be set as the thread's...

I don't seem to "get" ASP.NET 2.0's Localization features. I've read up on everything... and of course, everything is explained in cursory softball terms- not any "real-world" usage way. I hope someone can give me a clue... Questions: 1) Do my eyes deceive me or is it true that localization is still totally utterly disengaged from the Designer and Property Editor... either in source

I need to localize my ASP.NET app and I just used "Tools" --"generate local resources" command and everything works fine in my WebForms.

What I'm looking for is a way to read from a .resx file and get the appropriate values. I found some examples like this...

I am doing an ASP.NET 2.0 web site that needs to support multiple languages. I know how to do this using shared resource files. We want to allow our clients to select one type of currency and date format but also allow their users to use the application in different languages while maintaining the same currency and date format regardless of the language.

I have a VB.NET 2005 application with several forms and a couple hundred "strings." I've been looking into all the localization improvements in VB.NET, and I can't seem to find anything that does what I'm looking for. My application has all the strings hard-coded, I wasn't planning on localizing it when I first built it. But that's OK, I am perfectly willing to re-create a resource file for en_US with the required data.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
