How to change the language of a WebDriver?

Question

I want to execute my Selenium tests in different languages. Is it possible to change the language of an existing WebDriver at runtime or do I have to recreate the browser in

You can also do it through about:config in firefox. But you need to use Actions to manipulate it.

Below a java piece of code

    Actions act = new Actions(webDriver);          

    webDriver.get("about:config");

    // warning screen
    act.sendKeys(Keys.RETURN).perform();

    // Go directly to the list, don't use the search option, it's not fast enough
    act.sendKeys(Keys.TAB).perform();

    // Go to the intl.accept_languages option
    act.sendKeys("intl.accept_languages").sendKeys(Keys.RETURN).perform();

    // fill the alert with your parameters
    webDriver.switchTo().alert().sendKeys("fr, fr-fr, en-us, en");
    webDriver.switchTo().alert().accept();
