Get the culture info based on ID of language

Question

I have the following code that generates an invoice line and includes the month a company has used it's coupons:

invoice.InvoiceLine += CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(month.Month) + " (" + usedThisMonth + "), ";

My problem is that companies have a company language (in the DB it's saved under the values 1 or 2).

1 means the Dutch Language, 2 is the French language.

How would I edit my line to let the months appear in the corresponding languages?

I guess I need to start by:

if(invoice.CompanyLanguage == 1)
{
  invoice.InvoiceLine += CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(month.Month) + " (" + usedThisMonth + "), ";
}
else
{
    invoice.InvoiceLine += CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(month.Month) + " (" + usedThisMonth + "), ";
}

I have only found samples of creating new CultureInfo objects but not how to assign it programmatically. How would my code need to look like?

Answer 1

Are you asking how to assign a culture to a variable?

int foo = 1; // change as required
var cultureName = foo == 1 ? "nl-NL" : "fr-FR";
var culture = new CultureInfo(cultureName);

Console.WriteLine(culture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName(DateTime.Now.Month));

Prints "augustus" for foo = 1 and "août" for all other values of foo .
