Thanks for the quick reply Chris.
I thought it was possible to dynamically "guess" the user's language but it's not so simple. Having a default_lang per country like you suggest won't work in my case since I do have to handle more than one lang by country.
Anyway, I solved the problem adding an extra attribute "native_language" to the User model witch will be filled by the user itself.

Daniel,
This subject was quite topical last year when I submitted
some patches to Globalize. There is, of course, a big problem in that the
mapping of Country->Language is not 1:1. Think Canada, Switzerland,
China, etc. So there will be no perfect solution. Instead, I believe
that we considered a default language per country that could optionally be
setup in the database.
AFAIK, nothing became of those
discussions.

Subject: Getting the iso-639-1 Language
code from a Country
Hi.
I need to change the Locale in my application according to
the current user Country (user is logged in and country_id available through the
active session). Looking inside globalize's code and after same research I still
can't figure out a way to get the iso-639-1 language code from one
country.
Making an association between Languages and Countries could
work, but it's hard and I don't think it's the better solution.
Any help
will be appreciated.
Thanks.
