can not retrieve dictionary item from surface controller

Hi all,

I have my website in 2 languages, for login I am using SurfaceConrtoller. To render error message according language I am using dictionary Item as umbraco.library.getdictionaryitem("ErrorMessage")

but it is not returning me any value, just a blank string.

I am using Umbraco 6.0

Hmmm,

Ok did you add another language under settings > languages ?

If not add another one, and for this to work you will need to set hostnames under each of your default homepage.

Try using this code :
```
 @Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("More")
```
I had the same problem. More info here : http://our.umbraco.org/forum/templating/templates-and-document-types/39251-Surfacecontroller-and-ajax-request-to-action

Hi, Dave I encountered same issue and
```
Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("messagekey")
```
is also not working for me. GetDictionaryValue as well asumbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem returns only empty string for me in my ajax action method. Can you please specify, Is there any other change I need to make to this thing work? Note: System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(Request.Form["culture"]); will throw a null reference exception for me.

If anyone was struggling with @Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue, I had to set CurrentUICulture culture to make it work.
```
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(Request.Form["culture"]);
```
