maintaining the non-default locale setting

["Dr. Bhatia Praveen" <pr...@sumpurn.com>]

Hi,
  How does one maintain a locale setting set by the user?
  Example:
1) Forrest is say set in default English locale
2) If we add a clickable option to choose language, say, french (?locale=fr)
3) User clicks french. The current page displayed should turn to French
4) When he goes to next page that should also be in French (and not English)

How does one carry this new locale setting by the user to the subsequent 
pages?

One of the forrest users website does this, so it is doable! (refer : 
http://www.verit.de/de/index.html). Can someone let us know how.

thanks
Praveen

Not sure but it seems they are matching the language via the path
(.../de/...). From there you can implement a match in your sitemap that
is doing the rewrite.
