How can I force Localization Culture to en-US for whole applicaiton in Xamarin

I am working with a Xamarin Forms App.

Setting the Culture in the App Class did the trick for me.

using System.Globalization;
using System.Threading;


private void SetCultureToUSEnglish()
{
    CultureInfo englishUSCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
    CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = englishUSCulture;
}

You can set the default culture with following property:

CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture

But this won't work in Android. So for Android you need to set the culture every time an activity gets resumed. You can add a base activity like:

internal class MyBaseActivity : Activity
{
    protected override void OnResume ()
    {
        base.OnResume ();

        // Here you would read it from where ever.
        var userSelectedCulture = new CultureInfo ("fr-FR");

        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = userSelectedCulture;
    }
}
