We Got Cookies!

Yeah, we got cookies... To please the usual tw...users that complains they do not want to change the language of the browser, I'm implementing a way to "force" the language used regardless that. But to do it, I need cookie... so...

This site uses Cookie... singular. ONE cookie. That doesn't contains anything but the language you want to use. If you zap it, it will be re-created. But once the language is set, it will stay like it is.
