Stranger and stranger. I decided to disable Auth because it was that
that I'd added to the site before i18n stopped working. As soon as I
did that, my Configure::read('Config.language') now shows the new
language setting. Why would Auth be screwing around with
Config.language?

Unfortunately, I'm still not seeing anything translated ;-(

I'm using cake_1.2.x.x_24.01.2008, btw.

As an aside, does anyone know how to globally disable Auth without
removing it from the $components array in AppController? Doing that
isn't great because I then had to comment out all of the Auth-

>allow(...) calls in 5 other controllers.
