Samuele, Yup, use an "Access Rule". Basically, create a python script that has the logic you need (Read cookie value, set HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE as needed). Then just set that python script as an access rule in the root of your site. This is assuming you use the PlacelessTranslationService. If you use Localizer, the same idea should be applicable, although I don't think it uses HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE to determine language?) For instance. I have 2 access rules, one in the root of each folder for each language, here's one: request = container.REQUEST request.set('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE', 'en') In your case, because language is determined not by the URL path, but by a cookie, just alter the code to read the cookie, and put it in the root of your site, and that should do it!

I would like a way to force i18n to show me the right language which is NOT setted on the browser, but on a cookie setted by a user preference interface. I tried some way to do that but none worked; i think that there can be only two solutions to that : Find a way to overwrite the default language of the browser (is it possible ? or it's something that has to be done only on to the browser ? ) Find a way to tell i18n:translate="" to change to i18n:translate="lang" (where lang is a tal variable that stores the language user preference); however i was not able to find how to do that evaluation of lang and i18n:target="string:something" seems not to work. Any other solutions ? Any hints ?
