Part of the solution you will find by setting up globalization through your web config. The rest you will find by searching MSDN.

How can I find a very popular site called MSDN? Hmmm, hey haven't they got search engines to help find websites. The question is how do you find a search engine if you don't know any search engines....

What I understand from your problem is, "You want to display UI to change Globalisation settings on any page of your website."

If such is the case, you can create a user-control and put it on every page. This is simple but stupid solution and should be ok if you have lesser no. of pages.
Another solution is to employ Base controller pattern where you can generate the correspoding UI before rendering your page.

Have you looked into using .resx files to hold the resources required for each language/culture that you'd like your software to support?

It is easy to create and use these resources ASP.NET applications.

If you are looking to use the same resources in multiple pages or user controls, consider using global resources as well as local ones. You would create a .resx file to be used as a global resource, create a class that accesses and retrieves the resources from this file (that implements a Singleton pattern), initialize that class in your Global.asax Application_Start event, and consume it where ever you need to access a resource stored in your global resx file. The ResourceManager class is used to retrieve and store resources in a resx file.
