### Middleware
from django.conf import settings
from django.utils import translation
from django.http import Http404

class I18nUrlsMiddleware(object):
	"""
	This is a very simple middleware that checks if the view being requested
	is about to receive a "dj_culture" parameter. If this is the case, this 
	middleware removes this argument and uses it to initialize Django's
	i18n system with the requested culture if it is one of the supported
	cultures.
	"""
	
	def handle_culture(self,request,culture):
		translation.activate(culture)
		request.LANGUAGE_CODE = translation.get_language()

		culture = view_kwargs.get('dj_culture',None)
		if culture:
			ret = None
			if culture in settings.CULTURES:
				ret = self.handle_culture(request,culture)

				# Fallback for the lazy of us who prefer to keep things simple.
				pcult = culture.split('-')[0]

			# old views.
