Localization is configured in the Startup.ConfigureServices method:

CultureInfo[] supportedCultures = new[]
           {
            new CultureInfo("ar"),
            new CultureInfo("fa"),
            new CultureInfo("en")
        };

        services.Configure(options =>
        {
            options.DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture("ar");
            options.SupportedCultures = supportedCultures;
            options.SupportedUICultures = supportedCultures;
            options.RequestCultureProviders = new List
                {
                    new QueryStringRequestCultureProvider(),
                    new CookieRequestCultureProvider()
                };

        });

Startup.Configure method

 app.UseRequestLocalization();

then UseRequestLocalization initializes a RequestLocalizationOptions object. This should be placed atleast before your UseMvc call

Change Culture:

[HttpPost]
public IActionResult SetLanguage(string culture, string returnUrl)
{
    Response.Cookies.Append(
        CookieRequestCultureProvider.DefaultCookieName,
        CookieRequestCultureProvider.MakeCookieValue(new     RequestCulture(culture)),
    new CookieOptions { Expires = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddYears(1) }
    );

    return LocalRedirect(returnUrl);
}

Current language:

var currentLanguage = HttpContext.Features.Get().RequestCulture.Culture.Name;
