Save user culture choice in Cookie to be used on the next visit.

[mdmoura]

Hello,

I have the following on Route localization setup:

CultureSensitiveHttpModule.GetCultureFromHttpContextDelegate = context => 
       new CultureResolver().GetCulture(context, acceptedCultres, defaultCulture);

Inside the GetCulture I have the following:

public CultureInfo GetCulture(
     HttpContext context, 
     ISet<String> acceptedCultures, 
     String defaultCulture) {

     return new CultureInfo(defaultCulture);
}

This works fine but when the user later accesses the site the culture is again the default one.

I would like to save a cookie with the user choice and the next time the user accesses the web site the previous chosen culture would be used. I tried the following:

public CultureInfo GetCulture(
     HttpContext context, 
     ISet<String> acceptedCultures, 
     String defaultCulture) {

     return new CultureInfo(defaultCulture);
}

public CultureInfo GetCulture(
     HttpContext context, 
     ISet<String> acceptedCultures, 
     String defaultCulture) {

    HttpCookie cookie = context.Request.Cookies["Culture"];
    if (cookie == null || !acceptedCultures.Contains(cookie.Value)) {                
      cookie = new HttpCookie("Culture", defaultCulture);
      context.Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
    }     
    return new CultureInfo(cookie.Value);
 } // GetCulture

However, when I change the culture the Cookie value does not change.

I am not sure how to update the cookie value when the culture is changed.

What should be the best way to do this?

Thank You

I would set the cookie value on the culture selected callback function from the filter.

We discussed something similiar here: https://github.com/Dresel/RouteLocalization/issues/19#issuecomment-55503337.

Thanks! That worked really fine.

I was searching for it on Docs, source and issues but wasn't able to find it.

Thank you once again, Miguel
