Hi,

I'm new to VB.net development and looking for a way to switch fast and easy between different browser languages (e.g. en-GB to es-ES, etc.), without going through the browser configuration views. I'd like to create a custom toolbar with language dropdown, which should change the respective browser setting. That said, I got concerned if it's even possible to change these settings with VB.net.

Does anyone know if this is possible? Are links I could use for reference?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I am not aware of such possibility. Usually the browser has the same localization as the operating system.

Is there any C# program which can let me add/change languages preference in IE9 directly?

For example, If I want to add fr-FR (French) or es-MX (Mexico) in my languages preference in IE9, how can I write a C# program to add it and it will show up in IE browser setting?

hi sergey,

i have done successfully using this

string KEY_NAME = @"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\International";


RegistryKey root = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(KEY_NAME, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree);

var defaultValue = root.GetValue("AcceptLanguage");
MessageBox.Show("DValue:" + defaultValue);

root.DeleteValue("AcceptLanguage");
root.SetValue("AcceptLanguage","en-IN");

Hi Pavan,

Did you test the code in IE when Protected mode is turned on? I guess that it doesn't work.
