Thanks, routes_in fragment seems to be what I was looking for. Session
variable for remembering last selected language - I like that, I am
going to include that also.
I am not sure about handling language purely using sessions in
general. It could be worthful if you have an app like webmail for
example and you want to translate it. But in case of site with content
in multiple languages I believe that right way is to have pages
(content) in different languages to have different URLs. How can
search engine handle different language version of page/article if
language is handled using sessions(and browser language setting)
only?
