[keycloak-user] Initialize keycloak with locale in i18n

[Stan Silvert]

If I remember correctly, the redirection loop is due to the fact that 
Keycloak wants to be initialized first.

You could set the KEYCLOAK_LOCALE cookie.  If there is no kc_locale 
query parameter then the DefaultLocaleSelectorProvider will use the 
cookie to set the locale for login.
