Change the language (locale) of the Portal

Question

Hi everybody,
I have to implement internationalization in my Portal.
I do it throws bundle resources in my iview and throws Portal Content Translation for workset name.
But now, I need to implement a iview in which there are 3 flag (english, french and german for example) and when a user clicks on one of these, this changes the Portal language.
Do someone know how I can do that?
I think I have to change the locale of the session on the button clic but I don't find how to di that ..
Thanks,
Fabien

Of course it is, this is the whole sense of a ResourceBundle...
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/ResourceBundle.html
In portal components it's even simpler, just declare the bundle in the portalapp.xml and read strings as described here:

What Fabien needs, is a component placed on the framework page that changes the user's locale.
This is an example coding to change the language to french:
public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
try {
IUserMaint mutableUser = userFactory.getMutableUser(request.getUser().getUniqueID());
            mutableUser.setLocale(Locale.FRENCH);
            mutableUser.commit();
} catch (UMException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
