Does anyone know how to get the member description in the user's culture code?

    ok, you can access the descriptions with the memberinfo object:

     

    Dim MemberIdOfAccount As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, DimTypeId.Account, "41010")
Dim test As MemberInfo = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberInfo(si, DimTypeId.Account, MemberIdOfAccount,,,New MemberDisplayOptions(True,"en-US",True,False,False,False,False,0))

BRApi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, test.Descriptions("en-US").Description & " " & test.Descriptions("fr-FR").Description)

The names and descriptions of Fx Rate Types don't have culture-specific versions, as far as I know. But if you mean simply getting what is there: 

Dim scenarioid As Integer = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberId(si, dimtype.Scenario.Id, "Actual")
Dim objFxRateType As FxRateType = BRApi.Finance.Scenario.GetFxRateTypeForAssetLiability(si, scenarioid)
brapi.ErrorLog.LogMessage(si, objFxRateType.NameAndDescription)
