Right.

Well, yes. And put the language in every other link on that page, if I don't 
keep it in a session. Feasible, but I am not sure about the performance 
penalty with hundreds of links in my menu tree, which have to be prepared 
dynamically. But I will check on that when I get there, no premature 
optimization.
