How to change Liferay's culture in code

[Lior Hadaya, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Hello,

I'm using Liferay EE 6.1.20 and I need to support a flow of changing the culture/language by the user.
How can I switch Liferay's culture in code?

I found the LocaleUtil class but I'm not sure if it would help, hard to understand what each method there actually does.

Please advise,

Thanks

I figured out how to do it.

#set ($language_url = $portletURLFactory.create($request, "82", $themeDisplay.getPlid(), "ACTION_PHASE")) 
$language_url.setWindowState("normal") 
$language_url.setPortletMode("view") 
$language_url.setParameter("struts_action", "/language/view") 
$language_url.setParameter("languageId", "fr_FR")

and then $language_url contains a URL that redirecting to it changes the portal's locale to French.

You meant "country" instead of "culture". I think your question stunned a lot of people because of it.

Nice to see that you've figured it out yourself.

Change country? that's even wierder
Language codes are also called cultrue codes

Looking at the MS docs, it seems "culture code" is used to determine more than just the language used.

The CultureInfo class provides culture-specific information, such as the language, sublanguage, country/region, calendar, and conventions associated with a particular culture.

In Java, Locale is "language" and "country".

Another user was posting about changing calendar (e.g. Hijri). I've also asked liferay.com to change "conventions associated with a particular culture". It's currently not supported by liferay so I had to make my own additions.

That said, Liferay doesn't support "culture codes".
