Why don't you use LocaleSelect action? This will allow you to get the 'lang'
parameter from the request attributes and use it (session and cookies are
also supported).

Do you have any suggestions how i18n transformer can be advanced to meet
your needs?
What's is the problem with images? You can use different directories for
your locale-sensitive images and use i18n taglib to specify the path. Note,
that you can use i18n attributes in your XSP source:
<img src="hello.gif" i18n:attribute="src" />
and have this in your dictionary:
<entry>
<key>hello.gif</key>
<translation locale="en_US">en/hello.gif</translation>
<translation locale="en_GB">en/hellow.gif</translation>
<translation locale="ru">ru/hello.gif</translation>
</entry>
What else do you need for images? Any ideas are appreciated.
