[wp-hackers] Multilanguage: how to redefine locale on the fly

[Manuel Schmalstieg]

Just tried that, but I don't get it to work.

When executing the filter on "template_redirect", I notice that the
"has_term()" does return a result, and the language switch is showing
up in the header's language_attributes() – but some of the _e()
strings and all of the dates are left unlocalized on the frontend, so
it's not a workable solution.
