Changing language by request.LANGUAGE_CODE

[Dmitry A. Erokhin]

What is the correct way to switch language in multilingual?

Only by invoking multilingual.languages.set_default_language() or
there is ability to make it automaticly by default django's
"request.LANGUAGE_CODE".

I'm trying to grow friendship between multilingual and localeurl.
Localeurl changing LANGUAGE_CODE and I want it to cause multilingual
language switching too.

Two hours of multilingual code inspecting brings zero results. :)

Thanks.

Like a temporarily solutinon I've added some cheat code to loacaleurl
middleware:

class LocaleURLMiddleware(object):

def __init__(self):
# ========<some code missed here>============
if "multilingual" in settings.INSTALLED_APPS:
try:
self.switch_ml = settings.ALLOW_LOCALEURL #settings
variable to turn on/off feature
except:
self.switch_ml = False #False by deafault
if self.switch_ml:
from multilingual.languages import set_default_language
self.ml_switch_lang=set_default_language

def process_request(self, request):
# ==========<some code missed here>============
if self.switch_ml:
self.ml_switch_lang(request.LANGUAGE_CODE)

It's working now, bu it's a "dirty hack".

Still looking for "nice and simple" solution... :-)

I think multilingual.middleware.DefaultLanguageMiddleware is supposed
to do the switching but I could not get it working :(

Kind regards,

Thanks a lot, Kirill!

It works fine now without any hacks. :)

I haven't read about middleware in docs – stupid mistake, I know...
