Creating a custom culture

Ozgur Ozguven asked on September 4, 2015 13:02

Hi folks

I want to create new custom culture, something like 'English - International'. In the Localisation app via Admin UI, the 'New culture' form enforces the CultureCode to be a supported Microsoft.NET culture. So, I can't do what I want to do there.

I then tried cloning an existing culture and this way I managed to create my new custom culture, English - International (en-INT). Is this OK / supported? Will it get lost on future upgrades or updates?

If someone can please clarify.. Many thanks.

It will not get lost in upgrades. The reason it forces you to do it with a valid code is because browsers are dependent on it. There are other reasons, I'm sure but I'm not fully aware of them all.

I would definitely recommend using only valid .net cultures as it can be used as a thread's culture, as a source for formatting date/time values or comparison with browser/windows regional settings.

Why would you want to use any non-standard culture? What's the story behind and the ultimate goal here?
