Comment (by dave@…):
This change has made multi-language testing much more difficult for
authenticated Django applications.
Prior to this commit, my QA team could follow this simple process to
switch languages during testing:
1. Switch language in browser settings
2. Refresh page
3. Test
Now, they must do this:
1. Switch language in browser settings.
2. Clear session cookie
3. Re-authenticate
4. Navigate to page under test
5. Test
This behavior seems ok for the average user (whose language doesn't change
minute to minute), but for a tester, this really makes things slow. Even
test automation suffers (e.g., Selenium).
Could we at least put this behavior being a setting? Something like
setting.STORE_LANGUAGE_IN_SESSION = True|False (default True)
