[Zope-dev] How can I force the language for a particular template rendering?

[Ethan Jucovy]

How about just monkeypatching the active negotiator?

{{{
negotiator = getUtility(zope.i18n.interfaces.INegotiator)
orig = negotiator.getLanguage
negotiator.getLanguage = lambda foo, bar: 'fr'
text = my_page_template()
negotiator.getLanguage = orig
}}}

Haven't tested it, but in my (limited) understanding of the I18N system
something like that ought to work..
