Is this safe? (django.utils.translation.activate)

I picked up a tip on dynamic translation here:

http://fseoane.net/blog/2009/django-change-language-settings-dynamically

Basically, you import "activate" from django.utils.translation, and
use that as necessary to change your active language on the fly
(something I need to do in order to store user languages in the
database because requests are coming from an API that doesn't store
session -- and therefore language -- data).

Does activating a language this way affect *only* the current request,
or can it spill over into other requests?

Is there a better / safer way to do this?

Thanks!
