public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// Default request culture is 'sv-SE' and the rest are supported; both culture and ui culture
services.AddRequestRouteLocalization("sv-SE","sv", "en-US", "en");
// Add the LocalizationPipeline class as a MiddlewareFilterAttribute in the MVC pipeline
services.AddMvc().AddMvcDefaultRouteLocalization();

// Add the RequestLocalizationMiddleware to the execution pipeline

/**
* Configure the default route '{culture:culture}/{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}'
* The 'culture' path matches the default of RouteDataRequestLocalizationProvider and the constraint 'culture'
* has been registered in ConfigureServices call to AddRequest..
* Two more routes have been added after (in order)
* 1. '{culture:culture}/{*path}' produces a NotFound (404)
* 2. '{*path} will use the localization providers registered in RequestRouteOptions to determine the culture and postpend
* to the {*path} value and then redirect Found (301)

app.UseMvcWithDefaultRequestLocalization();
}The default implementation use IRequestCultureFeature to get the RequestCulture for current request. The RequestCulture is in turn decided based on the work done by (in order)
RouteDataRequestCultureProviderCookieCultureProviderAcceptLanguageHeaderCultureProviderRequestLocalizationOptions.DefaultRequestCulture
What it means is that if a user browse to your site for the first time, without any culture, it will be decuded by inspecting the Accept-Language header value(s) (step 3.). Once on your site presented with the option to select language (which creates the cookie), and does so, the next time this value will be used (step 2.).
Default is to take the value from CultureInfo.Name which is either e.g. en or en-US based on supported cultures.
