The book (and the example documentation) are wrong; not sure how that slipped
through.
Use URL(..., lang='it')
The incoming language (from the incoming URL) is stored in request.language.
The outgoing language ends up in request.uri_language, but it's best to specify
it as an argument to URL().
Notice that it's up to you to connect these to the translation system; that's
not currently automatic, I don't think.
