>             Project: Forrest
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Core operations, Internationalisation (i18n), Launch 'forrest run'
>    Affects Versions: 0.8-dev

> When moving from one page to another and switching locales in between, the chosen locale is lost when entering the new page. To reproduce:
> 1) set up and run forrest with i18n ON
> 2) open a localized page
> 3) switch locale by appending '?locale=XY' in the address field
> 4) open another page available in both the original locale (before the switch) and the new locale XY
> 5) notice how the new page is displayed in the original locale, NOT the expected XY locale
> Although one could argue that the described behaviour is wanted in some cases, I believe that to most users it would be natural that the locale is "sticky" once changed - it should not change back by itself. Thus, the "sticky" behaviour should be default in Forrest.
> The fix is simple, patch to come soon.
