Sharepoint 2010 - Change UI Language with javascript

-
If you want to use html/javascript to change UI language, you can use the script below:
(Note: in the page, there is the function OnSelectionChange, so you have to change name if you want to use other feature in)

function OnSelectionChange(value)
{
    var today = new Date();
    var oneYear = new Date(today.getTime() + 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
    var url = window.location.href;
    document.cookie = "lcid=" + value + ";path=/;expires=" + oneYear.toGMTString();
    window.location.href = url;
}

And in page, set the flags for change language:

<a href="javascript:OnSelectionChange(1040)">
    <img width="32" height="20" src="/SiteAssets/flag_ita.png" border="0" alt="Italiano"/>
</a>
<a href="javascript:OnSelectionChange(1033)">
    <img width="32" height="20" src="/SiteAssets/flag_eng.png" border="0" alt="Inglese"/>
</a>

In multilanguage site feature, Sharepoint 2010 does not translate content of web part and metadata. We have to find a way to show to user content or metadata in current language. I used a list with columns with content in language and a lot of jquery to show and hide columns for current language. I have a list with "DescriptionIT" and "DescriptionEN" columns. Then, I set a view with both columns visible. In this view, I added a content query web part whit code below. In this code, I search for current language, i.e. "Italian", then search for column with "DescriptionIT", and hide all columns but "DescriptionIT" (with name starting with "Decsription"). Result is that if I change language (with Select Display Language), I see only column in respective language. Simple and cross platform. Here the code: <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type=&quo
