I think `ModelAdmin.changelist_view
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.changelist_view>`
is the right place.
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
def changelist_view(request, extra_context=None):
if 'lang' not in request.GET:
q = request.GET.copy()
q.setdefault('lang', 'en')
return redirect('%s?%s' % (request.path, q.urlencode()))
return super(MyModelAdmin, self).changelist_view(
request, extra_context=extra_context,
)
