This is a very simple middleware that uses babel (http://babel.edgewall.org) for accessing locale data in request objects through request.LOCALE attribute.

It also provides a function to get locale data outside views.

settings.py:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ... cut ...
    'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
    'middleware.locale.BabelMiddleware',
    ... cut ...
)
