Come back with specific questions when you get stuck.

Thanks for your answer.

I created already all the l18n messages and I can switch the language site wise  by changing the language in settings.py

However Now I'd like to change them via user preferences. (not cookies)
(So if one user changes the language on one m,achine it should be changed on any other machine if he logs in.

I'd prefer not to set the language as suggested by the browser, but let the user the choice even if his useragent suggests another prefered language.


There seems to be a url based approach and a cookies based approach I wonder what would be best for my scenario.
(I am in full control of the web server and can add redirects / rewrite rules, etc. if this helps)


This might be explained somewhere in more details in the Django docss however I did not find the related page.

The doc mentions:
"It uses these hooks to localize Web apps for particular users according to their preferences."

but I did not find the how

    then the user could select the prefered lanngauge in some user

    What would be the standard way to do this in Django?

    Thanks in advance for comments,  examples, snippets, links,
