symfony2.1 translatable saved, but not retrieved - doctrine-orm

Question

Basically, I had the same problem as here:
Symfony2 & Translatable : entity's locale is empty
Translations where saved in the ext_translations table, but where not being displayed.
After adding the proposed fix, it DID work.
Today I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1 I managed to get pretty much everything working so far.
But now my translatables are again not being displayed properly (they ARE still being saved properly).
I think it has something to do with the changes to where and how the users locale is stored in 2.1 compared to 2.0 .. but i cannot figure this one out.

Fixed this by registering a custom listener
namespace XXX;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\GetResponseEvent;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\KernelEvents;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
class LocaleListener implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
private $defaultLocale;
public function __construct($defaultLocale = 'en')
{
$this->defaultLocale = $defaultLocale;
}
public function onKernelRequest(GetResponseEvent $event)
{
$request = $event->getRequest();
if (!$request->hasPreviousSession()) {
return;
}
if ($locale = $request->attributes->get('_locale')) {
$request->getSession()->set('_locale', $request->getLocale());
} else {
$request->setDefaultLocale($request->getSession()->get('_locale', $this->defaultLocale));
}
}
static public function getSubscribedEvents()
{
return array(
// must be registered before the default Locale listener
KernelEvents::REQUEST => array(array('onKernelRequest', 17)),
);
}
}
then changed
$request->setDefaultLocale($request->getSession()->get('_locale', $this->defaultLocale));
to
$request->setLocale($request->getSession()->get('_locale'));
and used
$this->getRequest()->getSession()->set('_locale', 'nl');
to set the locale, translations and translatables now work
hope this also helps someone else ..
