When you build an application that supports multiple languages, it’s useful to understand the culture names that you can use. Table A-2 shows you a list of culture names. The culture name is a combination of an ISO 639 two-letter culture code that describes the language and an ISO 3166 two-letter uppercase subculture code that identifies the country or region if necessary. For the name to be valid, the culture portion must be in lowercase and the country/region portion in uppercase.
