Parameters

• spWeb
  Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb

  The SPWeb object that is used to set the thread and UI culture according to the Locale and Language properties.

Remarks

The culture of the thread is set based on the LocaleId property of the SPRegionalSettings class for the current user.

If the user cannot be determined, the culture is set based on the Locale property of the SPWeb class.

The UI culture of the thread is set based on the UICulture property and the IsMultilingual property of the SPWeb class, and some HTTP request headers.

If the SPWeb object is not multilingual, then the UI culture of the thread is set to the UICulture property of the SPWeb object; otherwise, it uses the following algorithm.

If the HTTP request has an lcid cookie and the spWeb supports the language represented by the lcid cookie,
    The UI culture of the thread is set to that language
Else
    For Each Language in the Accept language header
    {
        If the spWeb supports that language,
        {
            The UI culture of the thread is set to that language
            Break;
        }
    }

If the force value is false, then the culture will not be set if a previous call to SetThreadCulture has been made.
