Can any one tell me how can I get the CultureInfo in JavaScript?

Answer 1

This is a very old post an is definately in need of an update. All major browsers now support the navigator property. Simply use

var lang = navigator.language

Answer 2

Very easy way is to render it into the view, like this:

<script>
  var cultureInfo = '@System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name';
</script>

This is razor syntax, if you use classic asp.net, then use:

<script>
  var cultureInfo = '<%= System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name %>';
</script>
