Submit or Refresh when select item in Html.Dropdownlist

Question

I tried everything I know to refresh the page. this is my code:

 @Html.DropDownList("Languages", "Select Language")

I tried:

 @Html.DropDownList("Languages", "Select Language", new { @onchange = "this.form.submit();" })

and without the @onchange (onchange), I tried to make javascript but it just wont add another parameter after my "select language" it always says "invalid arguments" so yeah, what else can i do to Select Item and then refresh the page?

EDIT

So to clarify, I have this dropdownlist

List<SelectListItem> Languages = new List<SelectListItem>();
Languages.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Hungarian", Value = "hu" });
Languages.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Hrvatski", Value = "hr" });
Languages.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Slovak", Value = "sk" });
Languages.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Bosanski", Value = "hr" });
Languages.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "English", Value = "en" });       
Languages.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "Srpski", Value = "sr" });

in my controller, now when I click on <button type="submit">next</button> it changes the language of the page by the value I selected

after selecting item, to change the language of the page, that means a a postback, i have a Submit button, witch works perfectly. I select language in Dropdown box and press button = language changed. How to do that without the button. — Almin Islamovic

There is no AutoPostBack in MVC you can achieve this by JQuery like this:

$("#Languages").change(function () {
    // You can refresh your page by code
    //  location.reload();
});

Or bind change to your DropDown like:

$("#Languages").bind("change",function(){
    // You can refresh your page by code
    //  location.reload();
});
