[Zope-dev] How can I force the language for a particular template rendering?

[Ethan Jucovy]

Actually -- for a more proper solution -- I believe
zope.i18n.interfaces.IUserPreferredLanguages is expected to adapt a request
(rather than being a contextless utility) so I bet you could register a
custom IUserPreferredLanguages whose getPreferredLanguages returns ['fr'] on
an IForceLanguage interface, and mark the current request with
IForceLanguage before rendering the template.
