How do I get the Master Language?

When I use LanguageManager.Translate(string key), it will use the current culture as the language. I don't want that, so I need to use LanguageManager.Translate(string key, string language), which also takes a language parameter like "sv".

I want to use the site's master language, but I don't know where to find the language string for that. Do you?

Hi,

You can retrieve the master language from the startpage, startPage.MasterLanguageBranch.

You can also change the CultureInfo on current thread in OnPreInit

protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
{
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en");
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en");

    base.OnPreInit(e);
}
