This class differs in two ways from CultureInfoConverter, the default type converter for the CultureInfo class.

  • Uses a string representation based on the IetfLanguageTag property rather than the Name property (i.e., RFC 3066 rather than RFC 1766).

  • When converting from a string, the properties of the resulting CultureInfo object depend only on the string and not on user overrides set in Control Panel. This makes it possible to create documents the appearance of which do not depend on local settings.
