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

Question

I have a main asp.net application that 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 that it could be 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 was hoping to find a way to set the culture and ui culture in the appsettings.json or enviroment variables. Is it possible?

Of course.

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);
