I believe that solution would be to create your own ViewEngine which inherits from WebFormViewEngine. In constructor, it should check current UI culture from current thread and add appropriate locations. Just don't forget to add it to your view engines.

This should look something like this:

public class ViewEngine : WebFormViewEngine
{
    public ViewEngine()
    {
        if (CultureIsX())
            ViewLocationFormats = new string[]{"route1/controller.aspx"};
        if (CultureIsY())
            ViewLocationFormats = new string[]{"route2/controller.aspx"};
    }
}

in global.asax:

ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new ViewEngine());
