We have an outstanding issue with translating Apex Page Messages to spanish

We are trying to post apex page messages to our custom community Visualforce Pages where we have a Language Dropdown that drops a cookie for the language to change to spanish using custom labels and translation workbench.
Unfortunately it doesn't apply to any page messages sent through apexPages.addMessage() through Apex Controller even if we use a custom label in the class that doesn't get translated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

In order to display contents of a VF page into another language, you need to update the "language" attribute in the apex:page tag. Updating it to match the language code for Spanish would solve the problem.

Thank you, We're using a custom site template to use the language paramter and other code to be inherited by all other VF pages. Would we need to update each page to make it work? i.e. get the language cooke value in each controller and pass it along per page I mean?

Yes, you need to include this on all the pages.
One more way in which this can be done is by directly making update to the current user's language. But this will not only change the language on your VF page but also for the rest of your Salesforce as well.
