You could just disable the LocaleMiddleware... :)

hi fonso,

i see the same problem as you do.

i´ve changed the locale middleware to this to have my default language set:

def process_request(self, request):
    if request.session.get('django_language'):
        language = translation.get_language_from_request(request)
    elif request.COOKIES.get('django_language'):
        language = translation.get_language_from_request(request)
    else:
        language = 'de'
    #language = translation.get_language_from_request(request)
    translation.activate(language)
    request.LANGUAGE_CODE = translation.get_language()


# not changed
def process_response(self, request, response):
    ...

hi jefferson,

Yes, AFAIK, if your settings.LANGUAGE_CODE is 'de', the posted middleware would have exactly the same effect your changes do.

Disabling LocaleMiddleware does not help. The goal here is to ignore HTTP Accept-Language headers, and choose the default language which is defined in settings.py After that user should be able to still change his language, if he wants to

This middle ware does exactly what we need. Thanks alot!
