How do I change the application language in ASP.NET?

I'm developing an application with ASP.NET 3.5 and I have read that the language that the application is shown in is the navigator's language.

Is there any way to choose the language of the application programmatically? For example, I want to see the application in English but my Internet Explorer is in Spanish.

The language is a user's preference stored in the database, so I need to change the language when the user logs in.

You can use this <globalization culture="en-US" uiCulture="en-US"/> in <system.web> section of web.config.

You can also set it in web.config:

<configuration>
 <system.web>
  <globalization
    requestencoding="utf-8"
    responseencoding=" utf-8"
    fileencoding=" utf-8"
    culture="en-US"
    uiculture="en-US" />
 </system.web>
</configuration>

Or at the page level:

<%@ Page Culture="en-US" UICulture="en-US" ResponseEncoding="utf-8"%>

Are you asking how to change your browser's accept language? See http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/7b4a0825-28e2-4929-82f6-1feac4adb6f31033.mspx for instructions for IE 7 and IE 8. The section you want is "To add a language to Internet Explorer"

You can use the CultureInfo class to set the culture for your executing environment.

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-US", false);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = ci;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;
