[Twisted-web] support for other languages in newov

Do you mean gettext is not global for whole application or it is not 
possible to store the language in a session?
I guess the latter. This boils down to problems with unique session data.
In the December archive of twisted-web I found
<http://www.twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-web/2003-December/000045.html>http://www.twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-web/2003-December/000045.html
which a essentially says, as long as session data are always retrieved from 
request and ./twistd -oy script.tac is used it should work. I hope this 
applies to newov. Getting session straight is very important if people need 
to have different views on a page. This is a rather common scenario for 
dynamic pages, I think.
