What version of woodstock are you using ?
The last I remember is that the locale IS determined based on browser
locale and
you should not have to do anything else to see this.
Now the gotcha...
Depending on which version of woodstock you are using you have to
make sure that the javascript theme also reflects the localizations you
are setting
in "messages_de.properties.".
In the later versions of woodstock, especially for components that have
widget renderers, the javascript theme must have all the localizations
that exist
in properties files. This is accomplished in the build of the "theme".

for more information on this topic.
