I was going to send a note about this, politely... 'cause I figured it
would be pretty easy. ;)

Easier done than said - since the code already existed in
Preferences, I just committed a custom LocalePicker ;-)

Hm. Then why not just use the system from 2.8 and have a custom
LocalePicker just interface with that one?
The order must always be user preference from cookie -> Accept-
Language -header -> system setting from jspwiki.properties ->
default English. An internal priority list is IMHO quite useless.
Besides, if the user's browser sends multiple choices, they've got
a priority attached. Shouldn't we use that instead of something
set by the server?

LocalePicker does some useful things. The first thing it does is
inform Stripes what Locales are available. But perhaps the most
important thing is that it gives the priority order of Locales in
those cases where it is unclear which to use, such as when the
user's browser sends multiple locales. LocalePicker provides the
algorithm for resolving the correct Locale.
Now, as far as JSPWiki is concerned, I agree keeping a separate
config is confusing. It has always been my plan to write a
LocalePicker implementation that uses jspwiki.properties for
looking up the resolution order, AND takes the user's preference
setting into account also. (If set, it should always "win".) I
just haven't gotten to it yet -- pretty far down the priority list.

Heya!
Why do we need LocalePicker.Locales in web.xml? That essentially
prevents people from doing dynamic addition/removal of languages
to the wiki - without it, all you need to do is to drop a
suitable JAR file in a suitable location.
