Description

Currently the locale is detected by checking the request; I think we should improve this:

• a user should be able to switch the language
• there should be a possibility to configure a default language - I guess there are situations where localization of the web console is simply not desired.

So what about a new configuration value for the web console which defines the default language - this is optional.

The language detection might then go like this:

• check for a cookie with a language
• check the user for a configured language (once we have user admin support)
• if a language is configured for the web console, use this
• use request locale
