Hi, I use PersistentLocale to switch my pages to different languages. It works great. I have several links on the top of the page, each one switching to a different language. When a user clicks "DE", he will get the German version.
I also want to show the user which language is currently selected. I do this by disabling the link for the currently selected language, and marking it in a different color. Disabling make sense, as switching to the language already selected, is a nop. Now comes the problem: before the user clicks one of the language links, the PersistenLocale injected into my component tells me: no locale selected (persistentLocale.get()==null). This is ok, because no persistent locale was yet set. But I have a hard time finding out which locale Tapestry is using right now. Calling Locale.getDefault() gives me "en_US", but the content displayed on my pages is actually the German one. So how do I ask Tapestry: "Which locale are you using for this request?" (I also need this to do some localized date formatting at a different place in my application). One thing that comes to my mind would be a key in MyApp.properties, called "current_language", with "current_language: de" in MyApp_de.properties, "current_language: en" in MyApp_en.properties and so on, then use Messages to query the key to know which language is selected. But there must be a simpler, cleaner solution.
