David,
Thanks for the reply. I kinda already knew that. I was wondering out loud if
this is something that has been addressed - since other bits of OFBiz data
travel between sessions.
Do you see any problems with persisting a user's language choice so that all
OFBiz components will recognize the setting change?

While playing around with the existing language selection list, I
encountered what may be a bug.
Starting in the Example component, I switched to the Italian
language. The page displayed the new language. I went to the
Accounting component. The language is still English. I switched it to
Italian. The page displayed Italian. I go back to the Example
component and switch it back to English. I go back to Accounting and
it is still in Italian.
It seems the language selection is not carrying across sessions.

I always pictured a popup screen like the field lookup screens.
So, the header would simply display the current language with a
"Change Language" button next to it. Click the button, a screen pops
up with the language selection list. Select a language, click "Set"
and the popup window goes away. The main screen the displays the
newly-selected language.

We have recently discussed about moving the the language select box
out of the header; it seemed to me there was a general consensus to
go on with it, and I too think it is a good idea.
What is the best way to implement this?
A screen for language selection in the WorkEffort application seems
a good idea, but if the applications are not loaded this will
prevent the language selection.
One option is to:
1) add the screen to the WorkEffort application
2) display the language selection box in the header, but only for
the WebTools application (we could use a parameter to hide/show the
select box from the header)
Does it make sense?
