setting language (for error messages)

[Patrick Kranzlmueller]

is there an easy way to set a different language for the API (compared with the rest of the site)?

because a) I want my API to be in english while the rest is in german and b) some error messages (e.g. date–field) do not seem to be translated at all ... and in order to avoid a language mix I'd prefer to stick with english.

any idea?

thanks,

patrick

for future reference:

this works with adding translation.activate("en") to initial of the view.
