When communicating between processes or persisting data it is usually better to use the full CultureInfo::Name instead of the language code. Using just the language code can lose context and data. |
If ISO 639-1 does not define a two-letter language code for a particular culture, the TwoLetterISOLanguageName property returns a string that consists of three or more letters. For more information, see the example.
