Hello, there:  
I am using “Localization plugin” to help my app support both English  
and Chinese.  
[http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Localization+Plugin](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Localization+Plugin)

However, I dont find the way to switch the language version without  
interfering other users from client side.  
My way is adding a button, which links to an action, to change the  
variable “Localization.lang” 's value, but if one user switches from  
English to Chinese , it does affect all the other current users, their  
browsers also switches to Chinese!  
Any good idea?

Thanks a lot!

hi, i use this plugin too and don’t have your problem. you should keep  
language in a session or cookie variable.
