title: How to force a specific uiculture using web.config in MVC
body: <p>I have added Resource.fr-FR.resx to my project and have done the globalization setting in 
  web.config as follows.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;system.web&gt;
      &lt;globalization culture="fr-FR" uiCulture="fr"/&gt;
  &lt;/system.web&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>that is all you need according to <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bz9tc508%28v=vs.80%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bz9tc508%28v=vs.80%29.aspx</a></p>
  
  <p>but when I run my app it is still in english</p>
  
  <p>I have checked "Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture" in Application_Start() and it says FR.</p>
  
  <p>what am I missing?
