It depends. A lot of non-fat-thin-client types of pages show a couple of flags where you can switch the language. For these kind of webpages it is off course perferctly ok, since all the state is stored in the session (and the url representing some location).

To do the same with a QooxDoo application means all location info, state, etc. have to be stored (submitted with a form). You can off course enforce the choice at some entrance page. But this does not suit all kind of websites.

Besides I pick up the default language the browser version agent string thingie. (does anyone have a better way?). And I then bundle that language-pack within the html-code. (Thats one of the nice advantages of JSON). So the data is already in memory long before the qooxdoo.js is loaded.

But when they do change it's still a very rapid change. QooxDoo has little problem changing all the atoms, buttons and window-titles in about half a second (including the server-roundtrip where the language-pack is fetched). This way they can change the language in the middle of filling in some form, found on one of the tab-pages. They don't loose their form-data, nor their navigation position on the application.

Off course now with the history-helper the navigational issues of reloading the application can be overcome. There is still the issue of form-fields and such.

But using QooxDoo is about not making compromises, isn't it.

Hi,

Is it so common to switch a language?
Normally it is done when entering the app.
