Personally I do not user routes much and I like to do if request.vars.force_language: session.force_language if session.force_language: T.force(force_language)
and have button in the 'index' page that reload the index page in various languages <a href="{{=URL(r=request,vars=dict(force_language='fr- fr'))}}">French</a> Because of the session var, web2py will remember my preferred language.
