Re: Change default language on the fly in a view

or did you mean that you want to stay in "English"?
and just load ONE static text in French? the rest of the page remains
"English"?
=> no "language switch" used

then john's approach would actually fit

you need to be careful, though
once you allow changing to a secondary language all .po files used in
__d()
must be available there, too (linked or copied)
otherwise they wont be found in the secondary language...
