Still need to create the issue - but i've got an idea for a workaround.
How about a viewhandler, which uses a custom session bean which holds
the locale - and which return this one when "calculateLocale" is called?

Something like this:

public Locale calculateLocale(FacesContext facesContext) {
    LanguageBean neededBean
        = (LanguageBean) facesContext.getApplication()
          .getVariableResolver().resolveVariable(facesContext,
"language");
    if(neededBean != null) {
      log.info("current locale -> " + neededBean.getCurrentLanguage());
      return neededBean.getCurrentLocale();
    }
    log.info("current locale -> " + base.calculateLocale(facesContext));
    return base.calculateLocale(facesContext);
  }

Any drawbacks of this workaround?
