localisation user prefs
(on request - more ideas for user prefs ;-))
Currently JSPWiki localises its pages according to the locale of the
user's browsers.
However, it may not always be convenient to change the locale of the
browser. (eg. cybercafe)
So, I propose to add a Language drop-down to the User Preferences,
allowing you to choose a language from one of the JSPWiki installed
languages.
By default, the user's locale would be choosen.
The preference of another language is stored in the user-pref cookie,
clearing the cookie get's you back to the browser's locale.
Plse vote.

It's important to get the consensus of the community. So everyone
gets to vote :)
But these things work on the "rough consensus and working code" -
method anyway.

Don't know whether non-committers may vote or not, but I'd vote +1.

I would also add something on this; if authentication is made against
ldap or anyway external mechanisms, it is likely that at least some
of the prefs (language being a clear example) may be available from
there as well. Just wondering how (maybe already possible) to sync
this with prefs meachanis,

+1 from my side as well. Might be a good thing for 2.8.

Sounds like a good idea. The code that does this should be considered
"malleable," though, and subject to the same refactoring as the rest
of the UserPrefs code, when that happens. :)

+1.
Will be a valuable addition for several of my projects, whose clients
are likely to be working on community- or public-access computers in
multiple languages.
