#2255: Language support in session lacking
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: aigarius | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 2.0rc1
Component: TurboGears | Version: 2.0b6
Severity: normal | Keywords: i18n
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
The i18n support in TG2 is good, but one simple thing is lacking - saving
language in a session. When we have an i18n'ed application and we have
user sessions, then we should be able to allow users to change their
desired language regardless of their browser setting. There is a
[http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonsdocs/Internationalization+and+Localization
Pylons document] about that, but the example provided does not work,
because the __before__ method of the RootController is not being executed.
It would be very helpful if TG2 could look at the session and set a
language from session's 'lang' parameter if such exists, overriding the
browser accepted languages. This could be done in
tg/controllers.py:setup_i18n() (assuming it gets called for every
request).
After that we could switch languages by calling:
pylons.session['lang'] = ru
pylons.session.save()
pylons.i18n.set_lang('ru')
As an alternatve a new function tg.set_lang() could be provided that would
do the above to wrap it all up neatly.
