Culture Data

Returns the standard ISO code (such as en-US or fr-FR) that uniquely identifies the culture. This code is used throughout Grooper and .NET to reference and select cultures for formatting, display, and processing.

Use this property to programmatically identify or compare cultures, or to display the code in user interfaces.

Returns the full, localized display name of the culture, such as English (United States) or French (France). This name is suitable for display in user interfaces, dropdowns, or reports where a human-readable description is needed.

The display name is automatically localized based on the current UI culture.

Returns the name of the culture in English, regardless of the current UI language. For example, English (United States) or French (France).

Use this property when you need a consistent, English-language description of the culture, such as in logs or cross-language scenarios.

Returns the name of the culture as it is written in its own language, such as Deutsch (Deutschland) for German (Germany) or 日本語 (日本) for Japanese (Japan).

This property is useful for displaying culture names to users in their native language, improving clarity and accessibility.

Returns the two-letter ISO country code (such as US for United States or FR for France) associated with the culture.

This code is useful for filtering, grouping, or displaying content by country or region, and for selecting region-specific resources.

Returns the ISO language code (such as en for English or fr for French) for the culture. For specific cultures, this property returns the code of the parent neutral culture.

Use this property to group or filter cultures by language, or to select language-specific resources.

If the culture is neutral (language-only, such as en), this property returns the default specific culture (such as en-US). For specific cultures, this property is null.

Use this property to determine the most appropriate specific culture to use when only a language is specified.

Returns a string containing the set of characters typically available on a keyboard for the culture's language and region. This can be used to validate input, display on-screen keyboards, or support culturally-appropriate data entry.

For neutral cultures, the character set of the default specific culture is returned.
