Unsupported culture code

Question

In my application I already am using a lot of culture codes, like de-DE, es-ES, cz-CZ etc. All languages work correct. However, I get an error with the culture coe Lt-sr-SP (Serbian, Latin).

When I call:

var culture = new CultureInfo(Settings.Default.UI_Language);

where Settings.Default.UI_Language = "Lt-sr-SP" I get an error that the culture is unsupported, the culture code is an invalid culture code identification (in Dutch so I cannot really copy it here without making sense for most of you).

For all used language I have a dedicated string resource file, but I even checked with a language I don't have such a resource file made for, and I don't get the error in such case.

Answer 1

If you search the available cultures using the following code, you will find that the code you're looking for isn't in the set of available cultures.

var cultures = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures).Where(c => c.Name.Equals("Lt-sr-SP"));

If you search using

var culture = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures).Where(c => c.EnglishName.Contains("Serbian"));

You can see that the culture code you're looking for is sr-Latn-RS.
