    // get the assembly
    Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

    //Find the location of the assembly
    string assemblyLocation =
        Path.GetDirectoryName(Uri.UnescapeDataString(new UriBuilder(assembly.CodeBase).Path));

    //Find the file anme of the assembly
    string resourceFilename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(assembly.Location) + ".resources.dll";

    //Return all culture for which satellite folder found with culture code.
    return culture.Where(cultureInfo =>
        assemblyLocation != null &&
        Directory.Exists(Path.Combine(assemblyLocation, cultureInfo.Name)) &&
        File.Exists(Path.Combine(assemblyLocation, cultureInfo.Name, resourceFilename))
    ).ToList();
}
