CultureInfoExtensions.GetCultureInfo Method (String)

CultureInfoExtensionsGetCultureInfo Method (String)

Similar to GetCultureInfo(String), but covers culture names (<language-code>-<region-code>) which are used by SDLX and Trados Translator's Workbench, but have a different code in .Net.

Use this method to transparently map language codes (current and legacy ones) to cultures, for example when processing TTX, ITD, or TMX.

Namespace: Sdl.LanguagePlatform.Core
Assembly: Sdl.LanguagePlatform.Core (in Sdl.LanguagePlatform.Core.dll) Version: 1.6.0.0 (1.7.3164.0)

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static CultureInfo GetCultureInfo(
	string name
)

Public Shared Function GetCultureInfo ( 
	name As String
) As CultureInfo

public:
static CultureInfo^ GetCultureInfo(
	String^ name
)

static member GetCultureInfo : 
        name : string -> CultureInfo

Parameters

name: Type: SystemString
The culture code

Return Value

Type: CultureInfo
A CultureInfo object, using appropriate fallbacks for backwards compatibility. Throws an exeption if neither the fallback heuristics nor .Net can resolve the culture name.

Remarks

To avoid an exception to be thrown, and to get null for unknown culture codes, use GetCultureInfo(String, Boolean).
