Get All Cultures in .Net

This example shows how to get all culture names in the .NET Framework. Use static method CultureInfo.Get Cultures. To get associated specific culture use static method CultureInfo.Cre­ateSpecificCul ture.

Following code is modified MSDN example (it's just sorted by culture name).

// get culture names
List<string> list = new List<string>();
foreach (CultureInfo ci in CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.AllCultures))
{
  string specName = "(none)";
  try { specName = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(ci.Name).Name; } catch { }
  list.Add(String.Format("{0,-12}{1,-12}{2}", ci.Name, specName, ci.EnglishName));
}

list.Sort();  // sort by name

// write to console
Console.WriteLine("CULTURE   SPEC.CULTURE  ENGLISH NAME");
Console.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------------------------");
foreach (string str in list)
  Console.WriteLine(str);
