Hi Hugo,

In Razor you can get the culture by this:

@Culture

This outputs the culture that signed to the website in Culture and Hostnames .

So perhaps you could do something like this:

UmbracoHelper helper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);

var items = helper.TypedContentAtRoot().Children("myContentType").Where("Culture == en-US")

Hope this can help you,

Hi Dennis and thanks a lot for your help.

I'm not quite able to make it work though.

helper.TypedContentAtRoot().Children("myContentType").Where("Culture == en-US")

throws an InvalidOperationException because

The binary operator Subtract is not defined for the types 'System.Func`2[Umbraco.Web.Models.DynamicPublishedContent,System.Object]' and 'System.Func`2[Umbraco.Web.Models.DynamicPublishedContent,System.Object]'

So the "-" seems to be causing problems. I tried to escape it with .Where("Culture == \"en-US\"") but it doesn't work.

I also tried .Where("Culture.StartsWith(\"en\")") and it returns nothing even though I have items with the en-US culture. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here.

Instead of passing a string predicate, would you know how to express the same thing in a Func<IPublishedContent, bool> predicate?

Thanks again!

Hi Hugo,

I can see that you are in a stronly typed context, what if you are using dynamic instead of the stronly typed. So the code look like this.

UmbracoHelper helper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);

var items = helper.ContentAtRoot().Children("myContentType").Where("Culture == en-US")

Does this makes any difference or did you still get the error message.

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Thanks again for your help, but no, it still throws the same exception when I go with

var items = helper.ContentAtRoot()
                .Children("myContentType")
                .Where("Culture == en-US");

The exception I get is :

InvalidOperationException
The binary operator Subtract is not defined for the types 'System.Func`2[Umbraco.Web.Models.DynamicPublishedContent,System.Object]' and 'System.Func`2[Umbraco.Web.Models.DynamicPublishedContent,System.Object]'.

To be honest, at this point, I have spent too much time trying to figure it out so I will probably settle and go with an ugly hack (like looking for /en/ in the URL or something equivalent).

I am surprised though that there isn't an easy way to extract the culture info from the IPublishedContent type.

Thanks for giving me a hand looking into this!

Yup, this is awesome, thanks Daniel!

I didn't even think about looking in the service before asking the questions. It does make the property easily accessible when fetching content that way.

Thanks!

Sorry to say that my solution is not valid at this time.  Please read this issue: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-3753

My workaround to the unresolved issue is to implement 2 extension methods to assit with getting a contents language using the legacy Domain API and traversiing the content tree:

public static class LocalizationExtensions
{
  public static ILanguage GetLanguageByContent(this ILocalizationService localizationService, IContent content)
  {
    if (content == null) return null;
    
    // There isn't a DomainService in Umbraco yet so we need to use the legacy Domain API
    var domain = Domain.GetDomain("*" + content.Id); // dummy domain name : example: *1234

    return (domain == null)
      ? localizationService.GetLanguageByContent(content.Parent()) // recursive
      : localizationService.GetLanguageByCultureCode(domain.Language.CultureAlias);
  }

  public static CultureInfo GetCultureInfo(this IPublishedContent content)
  {
    var services = UmbracoContext.Current.Application.Services;
    var lang = services.LocalizationService.GetLanguageByContent(services.ContentService.GetById(content.Id));
    return lang == null ? CultureInfo.CurrentCulture : lang.CultureInfo;
  }
}

When I want to get an published contents language, I can call this method:

Model.GetCultureInfo(); // where Model is an IPublishedContent

In Umbraco 7.2.5 you can use the .GetCulture() extension method on IPublishedContent:

var segmentRoot = Umbraco.TypedContent(segmentId);
CultureInfo cultureInfo = segmentRoot.GetCulture();
