How to set API environment language?

Question

We are using the xmlrpc API of Odoo. When making requests to models like account.account, we get the information back in French. If I add { context: { lang: "
"en_GB" } } to the request it's returned in English.

But where can one decide what the default language is that the API will use to return the data in? Preferably in the UI.

@Julien Plaitin: I'm not able to comment on your post, so I created a new reply on my original post.
I never found a solution that would automatically add the right language based on what the user has set in their environment. What we eventually did in our tool (Monitr) is the following:
User connects with Odoo Fetch all possible languages their environment supports User decides which language they would prefer to use Save this in our database Use that value in the context of all requests

I think the language the API returns is the one set in the user-defined defaults. However, I don't know why Odoo does it like that.
Do you have any more insights on this?

Hi,
Can you see the language configured for the user which you have used to trigger the xml rpc script. May be the language set by the user is French.

Thanks
