Changing Jetspeed Locale

[$aurabh Vig <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I need to control the locale selection in Jetspeed, and my locale
selection needs to be in the top banner of the page.
I used
-- $jetspeed.renderPortletEntity("Localizer", "j2-admin::LocaleSelector")
and could get the loacle selector porlet displayed, but its submit doesnot work
I think because the submit action of the form is defined as the portletaction.

Infact, i further noticed that when i change the locale using the main
locale selector portlet, the loacle doesnot change for the locale
portlet rendered in the top banner.

Could anyone please help me on:
1) How to achieve this locale selection from the top banner?
2) How can i get my portlets to change based on the selected locale?


Regards,
Saurabh

Looking at the code of
It basically sets a preference which is then put into the session
                     Preferences prefs = user.getPreferences();
                     prefs.put 
(PortalReservedParameters.PREFERED_LOCALE_ATTRIBUTE, JetspeedLocale
                             .convertLocaleToString(preferedLocale));
