Hi everyone,
I set the
LANGUAGE_SESSION_KEY key in the current user's session to "en_US" (also tried with "en-us"), and my
LANGUAGES settings is as follows:
LANGUAGES = [
('de', _('German')),
('en', _('English')),
]According to the
docs, Django should fall back to the base language "en" in this case. However, it doesn't.
While hunting down the bug, I stumbled upon
django.utils.translation.trans_real, where the function responsible for discovering the appropriate
language is defined. It's called
get_language_from_request.
At first glance, it looks like this function falls back to the base language for all the other modes of language discovery (URL, Cookies, Accept-Language header etc.)
but
not when it reads from the user's session.
If anyone has knowledge about this issue, I would like to know:
1. Is this intended behavior or is this a bug?
2. Or am I doing something totally stupid?
Thanks for your help,
Dibya
