What is .NET assembly culture?

Question

After searching on website I post this question. I am aware of the fact that by default assemblies are "culture neutral" and one can create satellite assemblies with only resources (and no code) with culture specific information and place them inside the same folder as the culture name (i.e. en-us). But the question is, what is culture? Some specific real-life examples would help.

Answer 1

Per MSDN, this includes such things as the names for the culture, the writing system, the calendar used, and formatting for dates and sort strings.

For translations, the most significant aspect is a combination of language and dialect. Here is a good list of examples.

For example, consider British English (en-GB) vs. American English (en-US) vs. Canadian English (en-CA) vs. Australian English (en-AU) vs. the at least ten other English dialects that exist (I kid you not / see the list I linked). Then, compare and contrast them to say Russian as spoken in Russia (ru-RU). Aside from differences in language, there are also different symbols used for the radix indicator, digit grouping, date (MDY vs DMY), etc...
