I having very hard time to configure client side validation in my APP. I would like to it be able to accept localized pt-BR inputs.
I tried configure the app using at startup:
var locale = "pt-BR";
RequestLocalizationOptions localizationOptions = new RequestLocalizationOptions {
SupportedCultures = new List<CultureInfo> { new CultureInfo(locale) },
SupportedUICultures = new List<CultureInfo> { new CultureInfo(locale) },
DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture(locale)
};
and I set <html lang="pt-br"> into the main HTML file.
It works for rendering currency, date time and numbers in server side, but the client validation still expecting en-US input.
The client side is using jquery.validate and jquery.validate.unobtrusive
How can I configure the client side validation to understand localized input ?

Create a helper class like this:
public class PortugueseCulture : CultureInfo
{
private readonly Calendar cal;
private readonly Calendar[] optionals;
public PortugueseCulture()
: this("pt-BR", true)
{
}
public PortugueseCulture(string cultureName, bool useUserOverride) : base(cultureName, useUserOverride)
{
//Your Custom Currency Numbers Calendar Culture Code
}
public override Calendar Calendar
{
get { return cal; }
}
public override Calendar[] OptionalCalendars
{
get { return optionals; }
}
}
Then in Global.asax.cs add this method
protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var portugueseCulture = new PortugueseCulture();
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = portugueseCulture;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = portugueseCulture;
}
