Steam market currency and XML format

Im trying to get an item page on market in certain currency, tried to add

Accept-Language: ru-RU\r\n

and

Accept-Language: ru-RU, ru\r\n

and

Accept-Language: ru, ru-RU;q=0.8\r\n

to header but steam ignores it and always gives a page with mixed rubles, euros and dollars.

Also, how can i get a page in xml format? ?format=xml and ?xml=1 dont work, tried with application/xml and */*

If someone still needs this: http://steamcommunity.com/market/search/render/?start=0&count=10&l=english&currency=5&q=&category_730_ItemSet%5B%5D=any&category_730_TournamentTeam%5B%5D=any&category_730_Weapon%5B%5D=tag_weapon_ak47&category_730_Exterior%5B%5D=tag_WearCategory0&category_730_Quality%5B%5D=tag_strange&appid=730

l param (Language): english, russian, french, etc.

count is how much results to display

start is starting result (start=10&count=10 is 2nd page with 10 results)

currency: 5 = ruble, 3 = USD. There are many others.

Recently Valve added market prices on inventory page when inspecting an item. The price is loaded through AJAX, and through inspecting network requests I found this:

http://steamcommunity.com/market/priceoverview/?country=US&currency=3&appid=730&market_hash_name=AWP%20|%20Electric%20Hive%20(Factory%20New)

You can force currency with this (currency 3 is EUR), returns lowest price on market and median price, JSON format.

Sellers will always list items for sale in the native currency of their Steam Wallet, and buyers will always see Community Market prices expressed in the native currency of their Steam Wallet. For items listed for sale in a different currency than the buyer's Steam Wallet currency, we apply an exchange rate which we update daily.
- Community Market FAQ

Meaning, if you are looking at the market from a browser you are logged in on and you have funds in your wallet that are not in Rubles, you won't see Rubles.

You can, however, get around this. If you log out of the market and visit your URL, there are two parameters you can pass for force language and region changes.

For example, using the ever popular Supply Crate Key: http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/440/Mann%20Co.%20Supply%20Crate%20Key?l=russian&cc=ru

Notice the l and cc parameters. The l is setting the language to Russian and the cc is setting the region to Russia.

Now, this doesn't appear to work on the entire page. The graph showing historical trends still appears to be in USD, even though the surrounding text is in Russian.

USD Graph

But, the individual listings of items did, in fact, change currencies. Listings
