Comment (by joedolson):

 Trying to think through whether there's a significant benefit or concern
 to using a cookie. A cookie makes the language choice more hidden, so it's
 harder for a user to change to the default language if there's something
 wrong with the language set for them, but I'm not convinced that's a huge
 problem.

 I could go either way; but the patch seems simpler to get in if we don't
 mess with setting a cookie, and just check that parameter for all three
 links.
