My Kentico 11 site's Default content culture and Visitor culture are both set to German. When I check under the settings tabs for the pages, I can see that their culture is also set to German. When I put a breakpoint in the debugger and check the value of `LocalizationContext.CurrentCulture` it also returns German. 

I also have the following set in web.config:

```
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="de-DE" uiCulture="en-US" />

```

However, `ResHelper.GetString` only returns the english translation.

I'm guessing it's because somehow in localization module, english is still the default language:

If this is the issue how can I change this? 

Update: I thought it might be related to [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42813808/using-reshelper-to-get-resource-string-uses-thread-culture-not-localizationcon) issue but `Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture` is also returning de-De

Another Update:

`ResHelper.GetString("Key", CMS.Localization.LocalizationContext.CurrentCulture.CultureCode);` returns the German translation

**Really good update:**

Thanks to Brenden Kehren I've narrowed it down. When I call the function in a webpart like so there is no issue:

```
<%# CMS.Helpers.ResHelper.GetString("key") %>

```

But when I call it in a webservice this is where the issue comes from!
