Language setting for bridges in general

[wvdmark]

I have been making a bridge for a home grown application which manages approx 3000 users of the retirees of the defunct airline swissair (not swiss).
In order to set the language (which is stored in a cookie) I had to make a small enhancement for the cpg_udb class:

in init.inc (after user_get_profile):
// Get language from bridge *wvdmark*
$USER['lang']=$cpg_udb->cookie_language();

in coppermine.inc (somewhere under overridden function):
         function cookie_language()
         {
            global $USER;
            return $USER['lang'];
         }
in my bridge: attached: function cookie_language() that analyses my language cookie. Seems to work, found no other solution.
