[opencms] Re: [opencms-dev] Locale

[Stephan Hartmann]

Hi Bernd,

you can set the locale as request parameter, for example
index.html?__locale=de
But this will last only for the current request.

Also, i want to point you to an alternative LocaleHandler that lets you
select the locale via a parameter "__setLocale" and stores this in a session
variable so it lasts over more one request.
You can find it in the archive:

Regards,
Stephan

Good idea too. But best would be to simply be able to set the locale used in
the page by having a method in the CmsJspActionElement or the
CmsRequestContext like setLocale(...). Internally this value should then be
used to determine which content to display.
