You are probably hitting the following : https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/issues/4692

Mainly take a look at the comment: https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/issues/4692#issuecomment-223671462

Summary: You can create a Resource filter in MVC to workaround the issue:

public class CultureSettingResourceFilter : IResourceFilter, IOrderedFilter
{
    public int Order
    {
        get
        {
            return int.MinValue;
        }
    }

    public void OnResourceExecuted(ResourceExecutedContext context)
    {
        // By this time the response would already have been started, so do not try to modify the response
    }

    public void OnResourceExecuting(ResourceExecutingContext context)
    {
        var culture = httpContext.GetRouteValue("your-culture-key-name")?.ToString();
        // set your culture here
        CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = culture;
        CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture = culture;
    }
}

services.AddMvc(o =>
{
    o.Filters.Add(new CultureSettingResourceFilter());
});
