Hello Iain, *please* don't advise people to use `session` for setting locale! That is an unfortunate choice by the official i18n demo app and completely breaks RESTfullnes of anything. (ie. completely breaks even such simple thing like sending someone a URL and expecting that she'll see the same thing.)
One should set locale from params, hostname, accepted-language header, whatever, just *not* session.
