Yup, seen it before (having had the same issues) > Seem to loose "culture" info on ajax call. I'm always adding a extra parameter and send in either a node id of the current language I'm working on or a culture as string (eg nl-BE, ....) and set culture on the current thread before trying to fetch dictionary items.

if there's a better method, i'd love to hear 'bout it.

Dirk,

you got the code snippet to set the culture on the thread?  Also I wonder if in the controller there is way to tell if its an ajax call so then i can set it there?

Dirk,

Sorted!!! In my controller i have

            if (ControllerContext.HttpContext.Request.IsAjaxRequest())
            {
                //we lose culture and dictionary wont get labels therefore set it on the thread
                string code = umbracoService.GetCultureCode();
                //Get the culture info of the language code
                CultureInfo culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(code);
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture;

            }

And it works. Cheers mate.

Have some solution karma lol.

Didn't even know .IsAjaxRequest() exists!! Good to know, #h5yr

Haha, I'm trying to join the 10k karma club this year ;)

Try add <globalization> with your default language into web.config

<configuration>
 <system.web>
  <globalization uiCulture="ru-RU" culture="ru-RU" /> 

I know this is an old thread but I had the same issue and I found a solution that might be worth sharing :)

Basically I created a custom header (umb-language) and a message handler which reads that header and overrides the current thread culture based on that.

So, enough theory, this is the message handler:

public class LanguageOverrideHandler : DelegatingHandler
{
    private const string Languageoverrideheader = "umb-language";

    protected override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(
        HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        if (request.Headers.Contains(Languageoverrideheader))
        {
            var language = request.Headers
                .GetValues(Languageoverrideheader).FirstOrDefault() ?? "en-US";
            var cultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(language);

            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
        }

        return base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
    }

}

In your Web API config you need to activate this:

public static void Configure(HttpConfiguration config)
{
    config.MessageHandlers.Add(new LanguageOverrideHandler());
}

After adding that you just need to send the umb-header on every request. For example if you're using Angular, you could use something like this at the start of the Angular app:

angular.module('myApp')
.run(['$http', function($http) {
    $http.defaults.headers.common['umb-language'] = 'ru-RU'; // or whatever you want.
}]);

Cheers!

Hello guys,

I solved that problem changing this information below:

I changed the value it was 4.6.1 to 4.5
