Of course it doesn’t - you have to define your Localization.lang
(wherever Localization comes from) on every request,
for example in a pre_filter. Here you do a “redirect” in which your
language does not get set.

What I meant is that you have to configure the language for every
request BEFORE the action gets called.

When you do

def engels
Localization.lang = ‘en_US’
redirect_to :action => “index”
end

the stuff you send to Localization is going to take effect for this
action, but not for the one you are redirecting to.

in my application.rb i do

Localization.lang = â??nl_BEâ??
