I haven’t made it yet, but I’d like to. What’s been holding me back is that there’s a problem that if the locale is changed for an anonymous user on a forum that is using a CDN, the wrong locale may be served to the next anonymous user on their first request to the forum.

See:

> I opened my browser, clicked ‘log out’ on the drop-down menu (because my browser doesn’t recover Discourse sessions properly when I log in), and got the anonymous home page. The buttons and top header were in Swedish (“Logga in” instead of “Login”). I do not have Swedish selected in my browser and never have.

It’s a solvable problem, possibly doing something like this: [Swedish? meta just showed me the UI in Swedish - #10 by simon](https://meta.discourse.org/t/swedish-meta-just-showed-me-the-ui-in-swedish/41137/10)

For sites that aren’t using a CDN, this would be a fairly simple plugin. I think something like this could work as the UI:

Clicking on the ‘globe’ icon would open up a menu-panel that contains a locale switcher similar to the one in the admin section and a button that says something like ‘Reload Locale.’
