If you add Culture="auto" UICulture="auto" to the page directive and an
American user logs when his/her browser setting is “en-US” then they would
not need to select the language of their preference unless they want to
switch to a language that is not in the first selection in their browser
setting. You can then add a link that says “Select language of preference”
which would save the selection in a cookie and upon next visit the master
page would simply execute Page.Culture=selectedCulture if there were a
cookie. This would last longer than using the Session object which expires
when the browser is closed or the Session expired (in which scenario the user
has to select the culture upon every visit)
