[SalesForce] How to set the language for API Rest or SOAP

I'm integrating SF with other systems using the standard SF API (SOAP and REST). For this, I'm using a specific user which has a special profile (using API Only permission).
The Integration user has the Language set on English.

However I need to return the request results on different languages (ES, FR, etc). For instance, the value of picklist should be translated.

Query

Is it possible set on login or in the request the language?

Best Answer

Results are returned, by default, in the organization's language. Using the toLabel function returns localized values; this is required to support multi-language organizations. In neither case can you specify the translation language to perform transactions in. You would have to update the user's language key before running the transaction.

You only have to use the getValue method instead getLabel.

change this line :

  picklistvalues.add(entry.label);

by this one:

  picklistvalues.add(entry.getValue());

getValue()

Returns the value of this item in the picklist.

getLabel()

Returns the display name of this item in the picklist.

Sum-up: label returns the translated value and value the defined value in the field.

Since community usernames are not globally unique, you need to use SOAP login with LoginScopeHeader to identify the org:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="urn:partner.soap.sforce.com">
  <SOAP-ENV:Header>
    <ns1:LoginScopeHeader>
      <ns1:organizationId>00DB00000001234</ns1:organizationId>
    </ns1:LoginScopeHeader>
  </SOAP-ENV:Header>
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <ns1:login>
      <ns1:username>user@example.com</ns1:username>
      <ns1:password>p455w0rd</ns1:password>
    </ns1:login>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
