[Seaside] Where to set a session locale?

[Boris Popov, DeepCove Labs]

Georg,

Ah,

YourApplicationRoot>>initialRequest: aRequest

	super initialRequest: aRequest.
	self session locale: #en_CA.

You could then pick a proper locale using the information gleaned from "aRequest acceptLanguage".

Boris,

Thank you. My question was slightly different: Where to place the initialization of the session locale taken from the settings in the browser as transferred in the http request?
