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));
