Set culture and ui-culture in appsettings.json (asp.net core localization)?

Question

I have asp.net core application which I want to localize and translate (v 1.1.0). I want the source code to support both english and norwegian deployments, and I found this could be a startup.cs configuration

RequestLocalizationOptions localizationOptions = new RequestLocalizationOptions
{
    SupportedCultures = new List<CultureInfo> { new CultureInfo("en-US"), new CultureInfo("nb-NO") },
    SupportedUICultures = new List<CultureInfo> { new CultureInfo("en-US"), new CultureInfo("nb-NO") },
    DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture("nb-NO")
};
app.UseRequestLocalization(localizationOptions);

However I want to have only one culture and one ui-culture for each deployment, so I hoped to find out a way to set culture and ui-culture in appsettings.json or enviroment variables. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Sure.

appsettings.json:

{
    "SiteLocale" : "en-US"
}

Startup.cs:

var locale = Configuration["SiteLocale"];
RequestLocalizationOptions localizationOptions = new RequestLocalizationOptions
{
    SupportedCultures = new List<CultureInfo> { new CultureInfo(locale) },
    SupportedUICultures = new List<CultureInfo> { new CultureInfo(locale) },
    DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture(locale)
};
app.UseRequestLocalization(localizationOptions);
