You should be able to get the data by querying (Tooling API):
SELECT Metadata FROM CustomField WHERE TableEnumOrId = '<Table Name>' AND DeveloperName = '<FieldName>'
The valueSet attribute of the Metadata field will contain the name of the global picklist used, if any.
Example (40.0):
{
"size" : 1,
"totalSize" : 1,
"done" : true,
"queryLocator" : null,
"entityTypeName" : "CustomField",
"records" : [ {
"attributes" : {
"type" : "CustomField",
"url" : "/services/data/v40.0/tooling/sobjects/CustomField/00N500000041HS5EAM"
},
"Metadata" : {
... // excluded for brevity
"valueSet" : {
"controllingField" : null,
"restricted" : true,
"valueSetDefinition" : null,
"valueSetName" : "A",
"valueSettings" : null
},
"visibleLines" : null,
"writeRequiresMasterRead" : null
}
} ]
}
Note that this will be the "developer" name of the valueSet. So, for example, above, my value set is called "A".
Use aura attribute to bind ui:inputSelect value. You can populate selected value in doInit using component.set("v.selectedValue", selectedOption);
<aura:attribute name="selectedValue" type="String" />
<ui:inputSelect aura:id="inputPicklistId"
class="slds-input question-input"
change="{!c.onBlurQuestion}"
multiple="false" value="{!v.selectedValue}">

if you are using VF page then it is necessary to explicitly set the language parameter.
However if you are using lightning components this is done automatically, what happens is that for instance url parameter
"?language=nl_NL"is being picked up and if you are using a custom label in your component it will automatically show the translated label value in dutch(in this case).So what you need to do is just translate the custom labels, include them in you component e.g.
{!$Label.c.ErrorMessageWC}and the platform will handle that the right translation is shown.url parameter can be set in different ways this depends on your requirements just be sure to have it.
I had the same issue, hope this helps.
