Ramstack.LocaleAlignment

NuGet MIT

A small runtime helper for applying POSIX locale user overrides to .NET CultureInfo on Unix-like systems.

screenshot

Problem

On Unix-like systems, .NET determines the process culture using only a subset of locale-related environment variables (LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, LANG).

Category-specific overrides such as LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME, and LC_MONETARY are not applied during CultureInfo initialization.

This behavior is documented and discussed in the .NET runtime repository:

What this package does

Ramstack.LocaleAlignment provides a small runtime API that explicitly aligns .NET culture settings with POSIX locale category overrides.

When invoked at application startup, it:

  • Detects whether the application is running on a Unix-like platform
  • Applies the following environment variables to CultureInfo:
    • LC_NUMERIC
    • LC_MONETARY
    • LC_TIME
  • Updates the current and default thread cultures
  • Respects .NET globalization invariant mode

Has no effect on Windows platforms.

Usage

Add the package to your project:

dotnet add package Ramstack.LocaleAlignment

Call the alignment method as early as possible during application startup:

LocaleAlignment.Apply();

This package requires an explicit call. If you prefer automatic initialization via source generation, see Ramstack.LocaleAlignment.Generator.

No additional configuration or code changes are required.
