FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

Hello,

I have a decimal property in the model

When I switch to the Arabic language error is thrown like this:

Can you check the Arabic translations in the resource file? There could be a conflict due to decimal number format (comma) 0,00 and (period) 0.00.

Again you also need to take care of the input field numbering format and validation, because the Arabic culture will accept Arabic (previously known as Hindu) digits ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩ but the default input is Latin (previously known as Arabic) digits 0123456789, so you may want to amend the accepted input for Arabic culture to accept Latin digits.

Thank you for your response. Actually, I didn't insert any number in the field yet. i changed the language from the drop down list

Then the exception thrown

Did you checked the resource file for the translated resource name? also check the translated model binding and data annotations messages.

[faresayyad]

I am using XML with MyMemmoryTranslate service: The translation file:

[LazZiya]

What about data annotations and model binding errors? do you have them translated?

[faresayyad]

What do you mean by data annotations translation and model binding !?

[LazZiya]

See Validation errors and Model binding errors.

Those error messages could have some invalid translation causing comma and period conflict in different cultures. Search the XML file for any relevant one.

[faresayyad]

The XML File don't have any ModelBinding translation !

[faresayyad]

I mean the XML file contains only one translation regarding the two fields
