Adding the ability to set the locale through a query string could be done through a plugin

Ok, I will go the plugin way to start, let’s see then if you have the interest to integrate that into the core.

There is an issue with setting the locale for anonymous users for on sites that are using a CDN

I’m not sure I understand the issue correctly, but I can understand the potential problem of caching pages that are built upon a user header such as HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE . Here we are talking about a query string, so the CDN should cache the answer separately…

For this reason, I think the approach that you have brought up in this post - Set language for SSO users - would be a better candidate for a PR.

It’s really two separate topics:

• The query string will help me to provide the appropriate interface to an anonymous user.
• The SSO extension should help me to avoid all user accounts to be created with the default locale.

Ok, in the coming days I will start to work on those two plugins, just ping me if you think I should do PR instead.

Thanks for your help so far
