how to change URL in multi language web site- Asp.Net MVC - asp.net-mvc

Question

I am working on multi language web site. it works fine with each IP_Address, the problem is that I want to make the URL changed after it renders, in the way it shows whats the language code in the URL.
here is my route config
namespace global_vrf
{
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{language}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional, language="" }
);
}
}
}
and this is my controller:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Globalization;
using global_vrf.GeoIpService;
namespace global_vrf.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index(string language)
{
if (language!="")
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(language);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(language);
}
else if(language=="")
{
try
{
string userIpAddress = this.Request.UserHostAddress;
ViewBag.userIpAddress = userIpAddress;
GeoIPService service = new GeoIPService();
GeoIP output = service.GetGeoIP(userIpAddress);
ViewBag.userIpAddress = userIpAddress;
var country_name = output.CountryName;
ViewBag.cnam = country_name;
var country_code = output.CountryCode;
ViewBag.ccode = country_code;
if (country_code == "FRA")
{
language = "fr-FR";
}
//and I will check the other languages here
}
catch
{
string userIpAddress = "209.95.51.176";
ViewBag.userIpAddress = userIpAddress;
GeoIPService service = new GeoIPService();
GeoIP output = service.GetGeoIP(userIpAddress);
ViewBag.userIpAddress = userIpAddress;
var country_name = output.CountryName;
ViewBag.cnam = country_name;
var country_code = output.CountryCode;
ViewBag.ccode = country_code;
language = "en-us";
}
}
Appreciate any help. thanks

Use attribute routing in mvc
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Globalization;
using global_vrf.GeoIpService;
namespace global_vrf.Controllers
{
RoutePrefix("Example Name")]
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index(string language)
{
if (language!="")
{
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(language);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(language);
}
else if(language=="")
{
try
{
string userIpAddress = this.Request.UserHostAddress;
ViewBag.userIpAddress = userIpAddress;
GeoIPService service = new GeoIPService();
GeoIP output = service.GetGeoIP(userIpAddress);
ViewBag.userIpAddress = userIpAddress;
var country_name = output.CountryName;
ViewBag.cnam = country_name;
var country_code = output.CountryCode;
ViewBag.ccode = country_code;
if (country_code == "FRA")
{
language = "fr-FR";
}
//and I will check the other languages here
}
catch
{
string userIpAddress = "209.95.51.176";
ViewBag.userIpAddress = userIpAddress;
GeoIPService service = new GeoIPService();
GeoIP output = service.GetGeoIP(userIpAddress);
ViewBag.userIpAddress = userIpAddress;
var country_name = output.CountryName;
ViewBag.cnam = country_name;
var country_code = output.CountryCode;
ViewBag.ccode = country_code;
language = "en-us";
}
}
