HOWTO: Set the ASP Locale ID Per the Browser's Language SettingsID: Q229690
|
When creating an Active Server Pages (ASP) application that will be accessed from multiple international sites, it is beneficial to modify the Locale settings so that the VBScript Date, Time, Currency, and so forth formats will return the appropriate format for the user's location.
The following subroutine dynamically sets the Locale ID for the ASP application (Session.LCID) according to the Language settings supplied by the user's browser:
<SCRIPT Runat=Server Language=VBScript>
Sub SetLCID()
Dim strAcceptLanguage
Dim strLCID
Dim strPos
strAcceptLanguage = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE")
strPos = InStr(1, strAcceptLanguage, ",")
If strPos > 0 Then
strAcceptLanguage = Left(strAcceptLanguage, strPos - 1)
End If
