Here's a little sample code I was playing with to look at the calendar control
in various cultures. As you can see, you can detect the culture from the
browser or let the user choose the culture.
Does this help?

Hi,
I'd like to make my Asp.Net components (such as the calendar control)
appear in the language of the machine that the user is using. What's the
best way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
