Hi, Firstly I would like to say hi to everyone, since this is my first post in this group :)
To the point; I was really glad to see behavior of `set_language` view fixed in changelog of Django 1.9, however in my opinion it only solves half of the problem with internationalized urls and browser's locale. It's definately a desired behavior, that the view now redirects to page in proper language, however it still does not solve the problem, that internationalized urls cannot be safely shared between users. Consider a scenario: 1. Pablo (Spanish) enters www.example.com/ola/ which renders him a welcome page "Ola!". 2. He copies the url and sends it to Greg (English) 3. Greg enters given url and hits a `404 Not Found` page because his browser's locale is set to English, and English route is `/hello/` not `/ola/` In my opinion proper behavior would be to allow Greg to see the Spanish version of webpage (urls were designed to be share'able in the first place...). I am the author of https://github.com/karolmajta/django-robust-i18n-urls which I used as drop-in replacement for Django's `set_view` (now working properly), and to provide sane behavior for newcomers to the page via a middleware. This middleware can be reviewed here: https://github.com/karolmajta/django-robust-i18n-urls/blob/master/src/robust_urls/middleware.py In essence, in case `404 Not Found` would be normally returned, the middleware kicks in, and tries possible languages. If it finds a match it will show the result to the user and set his language for the session. Otherwise it will just return 404. I described the problem and my solution some time ago at http://blog.karolmajta.com/robust-internationalized-urls-for-django/ Please let me know if you see my use case valid (i know I am not the only person that was hit by this weird behavior) and if you would see it as a useful addition to django's core.
