How to localize URL's in .NET Core 2.x?

I've already setup and have the localization working, configured both in ConfigureServices() and in Configure() like:

var locOptions = app.ApplicationServices.GetService<IOptions<RequestLocalizationOptions>>();
        app.UseRequestLocalization(locOptions.Value);
        app.UseRouter(routes =>
        {
            routes.MapMiddlewareRoute("{culture=en}/{*mvcRoute}", subApp =>
            {
                subApp.UseRequestLocalization(locOptions.Value);

                subApp.UseMvc(mvcRoutes =>
                {
                    mvcRoutes.MapRoute(
                        name: "default",
                        template: "{culture=en}/{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
                });
            });
        }).Run(NotFoundHandler);

and working like /fr/Home/Register but when it comes to links like <a asp-action="Register">Register</a> they still produce the default request culture, the en.

So the generated links are like /en/Home/Register instead of /fr/Home/Register

Is there something that I'm missing to make it work with links too?

You are missing culture route value for link and that's why the default culture is set. It's possible to add it using asp-route-[data] attribute

<a asp-action="Register" asp-route-culture="fr">Register</a>

In order to retrieve current request culture you can use IRequestCultureFeature. Get feature in the view

@{
    var cultureFeature = Context.Features.Get<Microsoft.AspNetCore.Localization.IRequestCultureFeature>();
}

Use IRequestCultureFeature.RequestCulture.Culture to retrieve current culture

<a asp-action="Register" asp-route-culture="@(feature.RequestCulture.Culture)">Register</a>
