}
*/

Then define a fallback culture (default is en)

cultureManager.setFallbackCulture('es')

var fallbackCulture = cultureManager.getFallbackCulture()
/*
returns an instance of Culture
{
    code: 'es',
    name: 'Espanol',
    direction: 'ltr',
    url: '/es/<current_path>?<current_query_string>#<current_hash>'
