Rails - May 2006 - How to set the default language in GetText?

How to set the default language in GetText?
The default language of GetText is en,and I want to change it to another 
language,and also keep the ability to change to any other languages by 
just click the according href.
Currently I use:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :set_charset
  def set_charset
    @headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=utf-8"
    cookies["lang"] = ''zh_CN''
  end
end
But the language will not switch to my want until the next refresh.Could 
I set the default language from en to others in some way?

Thanks
Charlie

Here is a sample of application.rb:

require ''gettext/rails''
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  prepend_before_filter :default_locale
  def default_locale
    if (cookies["lang"].nil? or cookies["lang"].empty?)
      GetText.locale = "zh_CN"
    else
      GetText.locale = cookies["lang"]
    end
  end 
  init_gettext "yourapp"
end

Because you call "set_charset" method after calling init_gettext.

BTW, you shouldn''t set Content-Type by yourself with
Ruby-GetText-Package.
It may cause other problem.
