Simple - throw this

<globalization enableClientBasedCulture="true" uiCulture="auto" culture="auto" />

Into the system.web part of your Web.config file. 

If the user's browser is configured correctly (in IE it's Tools | Internet Options then click the Languages button near the bottom of the dialog) ASP .Net will set the current thread's culture information automatically based on the user's preference.

This automatically affects things like the default currency symbols, date conversions and decimal point symbol.

What was that?  Oh you are using AJAX too?  Then you need to add this to the scriptmanager on the page...

...EnableScriptGlobalization="true"...
Cheers,
