9.0 RC2

Bug summary

hi - using the following code in a view: var mydictionaryvalue = @Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("My Key here"); It always returns an empty string. The Language setup looks stock standard and the dictionary item does exist and has a value.

thanks

After some more fiddling yesterday I finally found the magic combination to make it fail on my machine:

The last bit that I changed was the regional format, from English (Denmark) to Danish (Denmark).

Now when I switch to Danish as a culture on the node, I get no translation. When I put @System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture in the template, it results in en-US - which must be coming from DefaultUILanguage since I have not added an en-US language in Umbraco so it should not even be available.

To my knowledge, there is not changes to this part of Umbraco between v8 and v9

A quick test of upgrading a v8 site with 2 dictionary items nested under each other also works for me, but items give me the translation they contain.
