Hi, all.

Just want to let you know there's a simple tutorial used to implement
run-time language switch, hope it's useful for someone need it.

I generally do it something like this:

def i18n_loadhook():
web.ctx.lang = web.input(lang=None, _method="GET").lang

app.app_processor(web.loadhook(i18n_loadhook))

def custom_gettext(string):
"""Translate a given string to the language of the application."""
translation = web.ctx.lang and load_translations(web.ctx.lang)
if translation is None:
return unicode(string)
return translation.ugettext(string)

Already append your method as reference in cookbook. :)

Oops! It should be:

app.add_processor(web.loadhook(i18n_loadhook))
