I'm attempting to implement an auto language switcher in Django based on the client's IP address. For testing purposes, I've created a middleware to set the language to French ('fr').
class SetFrenchLanguageMiddleware:
def __init__(self, get_response):
self.get_response = get_response
def __call__(self, request):
user_language = 'fr'
translation.activate(user_language)
request.LANGUAGE_CODE = translation.get_language()
response = self.get_response(request)
response.set_cookie('django_language', user_language)
print("language set to ", user_language)
return response
When I access a page, I see "language set to fr" printed in the console, indicating that the middleware is executed. However:
The content is still displayed in English, the default language. The URL prefix doesn't change to "/fr/". Could someone help me understand why this isn't working as expected and guide me on how to resolve the issue?
