AFAIR, the locale selection algorythm in LocaleAction is the following:
- check for 'locale' in request parameters
- then in request attributes
- then in session (if turned on)
- then in cookies (...)
- then it calls getLocale() or something like that from request, which
will give you the Accept-Language header value which is set by the user in
his browser.
If none of this is found then English is used.
Probably, you could add a 'default' parameter to LocaleAction to initialize
locale value with something different.
