[Zope] A good time to set HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE

[Peter Bengtsson]

My multilingo app now works with PlacelessTranslationService quite fine.
If you change your browser setting with about:config you get the website 
in different languages. Neat! However, what if you're in an internet 
cafe in Kenya using a Zulu web browser and you want the pages to appear 
in English for example?

One solution is to do this::

def __before_publishing_traverse__(self, object, REQUEST):
     lang = self.getUserCookieSettingLang(default='en') # 1.
     REQUEST.environ['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] = lang

# 1. Trust that this is my custom function for finding out
# which language they really want to use when logged in.

Problems with this approach:
1. It has to be done for every object I publish including images, css etc.
2. It feels slightly risky to change the REQUEST.environ object.

Thoughts?
