.NET core 1.1 and localization in runtime

In an application I am developing there is a demand for output messages to be localized. I my web api project I have succeed it with the globalization/localization features of .net core. Each user has a specific locale in the database, so with a custom RequestCultureProvider I have managed to access user's principal, grab his language and alter RequestCultureProvider. But sometimes I run procedures which send push notifications messages to users. For example:

    foreach(var user in users) 
        await SendNotification("message", user.DeviceId)

If I rewrite like: await SendNotification(localizer["message"], user.DeviceId) then each user will have the same translation of "message". Is it possible to change in runtime the localizer according to user.cultureInfo?

Thanks

Of course you can.

You just need to call the localizer with .WithCulture(...)

foreach(var user in users)
    await SendNotification(localizer.WithCulture(new Culture("en-US"))["message"], user.DeviceId)

Of course replacing the en-US with a variable or property which contains the culture, i.e. 

foreach(var user in users)
    await SendNotification(localizer.WithCulture(new Culture(user.CultureInfo))["message"], user.DeviceId)
