1) Do not use referer - it is unreliable, especially with reloads and history navigation. Also, many firewalls strip out "refer" header. 2) To ensure that your action does not execute twice, check the request method. When you click "language" button, browser submits a POST request. You need to process that. When you redirect to the same action, browser sends a GET request, and you do not need to process it (unless you have "command links" on a page).
