AttributeRouting generate links with specified language

Question

I would like to know if there is some way to using Html.ActionLink to set in which language has to be generated the URL of link using AttributeRouting. I have tried with:

Html.ActionLink("DescriptionLinkText", "Controller", "Action",
                new { language="en" }, null)

but it doesn't work. Is there a way to set to AttributeRouting in which language has to be generated the URL.

What I need is to put at the top of my website links to change the current language. For example if the user is at /en/contact and click on links to change to spanish I want the same page was reloaded but in spanish language /es/contacto instead of redirecting to home page, for this reason I need to generate URL's in different culture of CurrentCulture to allow to change language and continue to the same page.

Thanks for your help

Why don't you use resources for localization?

@Html.ActionLink(LocalizedResources.ActionLinkLabel, "Action", "Controller")

update:

@Html.ActionLink(LocalizedResources.ActionLinkLabel, LocalizedResources.Action, LocalizedResources.Controller)

Sorry, I haven't explained well, what I need to localize is the URL of generated link (href) not the text inside the . Thanks I have updated my question – Marc Cals Feb 28 '13 at 14:06

But using Resources I need to have controllers duplicated? One for each language I support, no? – Marc Cals Feb 28 '13 at 17:33
