ServiceStack localized message text

Question

Is there a way to set the culture of error messages coming back from SS via the incoming request from the Client? Can I set the culture of a JSONService client in some fashion and then have SS respond with message text in that culture.

Yes, you can set the current culture per request in a pre-request filter:

host.PreRequestFilters.Add((httpReq, httpResp) =>
{
    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = DefaultCulture;

    if (httpReq.Headers.AllKeys.Contains(HttpHeaderKeys.AcceptLanguage))
    {
        var cinfo = new CultureInfo(httpReq.Headers[HttpHeaderKeys.AcceptLanguage]);
        if (new ResourceManager(typeof(ResourceFile)).GetResourceSet(cinfo, false, false) != null)
            Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cinfo;
    }
});
