detect selected language

[Yebach]

Hello

What would be the easiest way to detect which language has the user chosen in view?

Thank you

perhaps you can use request.cookies

e.g. taken from web2py admin app

models/db.py

if 'language' in request.cookies and not (request.cookies['language'] is None):

    T.force(request.cookies['language'].value)

else:

T.force('en')

views/language.html

{{extend 'layout.html'}}

{{if hasattr(T,'get_possible_languages_info'):}}

<select name="language" onchange="var date = new Date();cookieDate=date.setTime(date.getTime()+(100*24*60*60*1000));document.cookie='language='+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:}}

{{pass}}

best regards,

Based on the selected language i send a different file to user when he/she registers

i user this

if any("adminLanguage=sl" in s for s in request.env.HTTP_COOKIE.split(";")):
    formFile = os.path.join(request.folder, 'private', 'formular_WoShi_podatki.doc')
else:
    formFile = os.path.join(request.folder, 'private', 'form_WoShi_data.doc')

I know it is not the most elegant way so if anyone has a better suggestion.....

But it works :)
