Get CultureInfo by Culture English Title

Question

Can I get CultureInfo culture of the English name ?

Imagine what we have: Danish, English, Spanish, etc.

Thanks!

Answer 1

 var names = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures).ToLookup(x => x.EnglishName); names["English"].FirstOrDefault(); 

Answer 2

 var EnglishCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures) .Where(r => r.EnglishName == "English"); 

Or if you need FirstOrDefault

 var EnglishCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures) .FirstOrDefault(r=> r.EnglishName == "English"); 

Answer 3

There is no built-in method to get the culture by the English name, so you can write one:

 public static CultureInfo getCultureByEnglishName(String englishName) { // create an array of CultureInfo to hold all the cultures found, // these include the users local culture, and all the // cultures installed with the .Net Framework CultureInfo[] cultures = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures & ~CultureTypes.NeutralCultures); // get culture by it english name var culture = cultures.FirstOrDefault(c => c.EnglishName.Equals(englishName, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)); return culture; }
