LESS used in conjunction with culture codes

I am build a site that is multi-lingual and need to switch out some css on a page to handle different languages. I am pasing the culture-code into the page and I am looking for a way to use it to reference a different selector that would be used only for that language.I was wondering has anybody ever used LESS for this purpose. If you have any tips or tutorials, please post. Thanks

I have not used it for this internationalization. But you can easily style things by adding your .culture-code class to the <html> element: 

 /* default */
 body {
  background:white;
 }

/* these only apply to the body element when your culture code class is applied to the page */
.culture-code body {
  background:red;
}
.culture-code-2 body {
  background:blue;
}

If you are going to have very different stylesheets for each culture-code, you could create different less stylesheets, name them after the culture-code, and then use your backend language to import that stylesheet. But, hopefully you are only performing minor tweaks : )
