Hello Redd, Could you please explain how using the session to store the preferred language is going against 'RESTfullnes'. Someone copying and pasting an url would just see the page in the default language, not really a problem there, except choosing the right language. If you advise to pass the language in the url everytime, I think it would be against the clean url Rails produces.
I think in the long time, you could find yourself with very cluttered urls full of parameters, which would be a big step back.
