Creating a new culture for Localization

[James]

I am preparing a web site to include localization functionality. In
addition to supporting the list of cultures available from the .net
framework I would like to support the Maori langauge. As Maori is not
a listed language within Wnidows I will be setting the UICulture via
code rather than detecting it from the user's browser.

Is it possible to create a custom CultureInfo object? I know that you
can customize an existing Culture, but I would prefer not to do this
if possible.

Thanks.

It is a pretty long discution thread on this subject.
Short conclusion: NO
In theory this can be done by deriving the new culture from CultureInfo.
But it seems the solution does not work for web.

Currently, the only way to really do this is to do as you suggest. Of

course

that method is not without its problems, for example in regard to when

such

cultures are serialized, or passed across AppDomains.

Thank you for your feedback!
