Changing default language

I'm working on a site with 5 different languages where English is the original default language. Now my customer wants the visitor to see the Swedish version first when they enter the site.

Since the customer already has a lot of content it's not an option of remaking the structure of the site.

The site uses SilverStripe 2.2.1 and upgrading is NOT an option.

putting

i18n::enable();
i18n::set_default_lang('sv_SE');
i18n::set_locale('sv_SE');

in mysite/_config.php

only manages to change the name of the default language in the admin system and does NOTHING for the actually changing the default language presentet to the visitor.

Is there any solution to this problem or am I f***ed?

Best regards
Nic
