16 No. It's about localizing web pages with gettext. gettext is on the
17 server side. The server sets a locale for the session and then localizes
18 your page accordingly via calls to gettext before you even get the page.

20 Basically on your first visit yt tries to guess your locale based on
21 several parameters. Mainly the Accept-Language http header (the thing in
22 Settings->Content which you already found). It stores whatever your
23 current setting is in your cookies and whenever you visit yt or have a
24 video embedded in some site this cookie determines the language for yt
25 content.
