You are right. I guess I am having trouble myself because I *am* trying to
force the language (which is something a user will not do. since they are
happy with the default browser setting). And I have just found this piece
of code in admin:
{{if hasattr(T,'get_possible_languages_info'):}}
- {{=T('Admin language')}}</span>
<select name="adminlanguage" onchange="var date = new
Date();cookieDate=date.setTime(date.getTime()+(100*24*60*60*1000));document.cookie='adminLanguage='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].id+';
expires='+cookieDate+'; path=/';window.location.reload()">
{{for langinfo in sorted([(code,info[1]) for code,info
in T.get_possible_languages_info().iteritems() if code != 'default']):}}
<option {{=T.accepted_language==langinfo[0] and
'selected' or ''}} {{='id='+langinfo[0]}} >{{=langinfo[1]}}</option>
{{pass}}
</select>
{{else:}}
</span>{{pass}}
And the model:
# set the language
if 'adminLanguage' in request.cookies and not (request.cookies[
'adminLanguage'] is None):
T.force(request.cookies['adminLanguage'].value)
Let me get this straight: a cookie adminLanguage is set with 100 days
expiration date. This cookie is then accessible via request. Sounds simple
enough, I guess I can reuse this. I do not get the <select> part, but I
guess is just boilerplate to create the options and force a reload of the
page when a selection is performed.
