Globalized web apps for US Spanish

[Robert]

I would like to know how others are developing
multilingual apps for US Spanish-speaking public. If an
app is globalized and es-MX is used for the culture, won't
the currency, dates, etc.. show up as in Mexico where an
app written for Spanish-speaking US would still want date
and currency to appear as $ and mm/dd/yy, but use the
culture to move all text to Spanish? Before I roll my own
solution for this, I'm curious how others are addressing
it or if I'm missing something in my understanding how I
would do this.

Thanks!

This is exactly the reason why the current "culture" settings are useless.
I've always rolled my own using 2 cultures (one for language, and one for
formatting options).

Robert,

You can set Culture and UICulture separately something like below.
I think it is what you want, resource loading is done on Spanish but
formatting and date time are US English.

<configration>
<system.web>
<globalization culture="en-US" uiCulture="es" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

Thanks,
