Hello everyone i have a small issue hope you can help me with my application contains four different languages, in the public website i have for example News Page so i can write single news (item) with the four languages and then user can select the language he wants to read news in the frontend but suppose that user wants to share news item url in social media like Facebook so he want to be sure that he shared the url with the language he understand like Spain not English so i tried to do this , so when the user copy and past url in Facebook feed the news page will show up with the default language (English) of the application and the same if the user navigate to that url he will see the news page with the default language of the application and he was expected as the user who shared the news url he will see page with Spain not English so he probably get confused so i think if we can pass current language in the query string it will be more convenient how can we achieve that?
Thank you

Hi,
You can get user's language in clinet side using
abp.localization.currentLanguage.name. If you want to get current language on the server side, you can get current thread's culture.
Thanks.

Hello @ismcagdas it;s seems to br that you didn't read the post very well i know how to get current language of users in both client side and server side that is not problem at all so let me explain the issue with an example
in frontend i have link like that <a class="postlink" href="http://127.0.0.1/news?id=10">http://127.0.0.1/news?id=10</a> because website contains four different language for anonymous users he will see that page in default language of the application and the same will happens if i share this url on Facebook or Google+ Feed but what i need to achieve is to make this url like that <a class="postlink" href="http://127.0.0.1/en/news?id=10">http://127.0.0.1/en/news?id=10</a> for English <a class="postlink" href="http://127.0.0.1/ar/news?id=10">http://127.0.0.1/ar/news?id=10</a> for Arabic <a class="postlink" href="http://127.0.0.1/sp/news?id=10">http://127.0.0.1/sp/news?id=10</a> for Spain and so on
by using this behavior user will get the correct language from the first time he visited my website and everyone be happy :) hope this example is clear enough Thanks

Hi,
Actually I read it but maybe I didn't understand it very well. I also thought that, you will add language to url like this.
http://127.0.0.1/news?id=10&culture=ar&ui-culture=arIf you do it like this, localization will work just like you want, see <a class="postlink" href="https://aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Documents/Localization#how-current-language-is-determined">https://aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Doc ... determined</a>.
Thanks.

Hi @ismcagdas
yes that what i meant actually as mention in documentation ASP.NET Core's default provider uses culture & ui-culture URL query string values if present but ASP.NET MVC 5.x don't , so how can i implement same behavior here as i still using ASP.NET MVC 5.x
Thanks

Hi,
In that case, you need to create a new current culture setter class deriving from <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/aspnetboilerplate/blob/dev/src/Abp.Web/Web/Localization/CurrentCultureSetter.cs">https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/as ... eSetter.cs</a> and you can override SetCurrentCulture(HttpContext httpContext) method to check and set language from query string first.
Of course, you also need to use ReplaceService in PreInitialize of your module. to replace current implementation with your version
Configuration.ReplaceService<ICurrentCultureSetter, MyCurrentCultureSetter>(DependencyLifeStyle..Transient);It would be good to add this to ABP as well, can you also create an issue on ABP repository for this ?
Thanks.
