You should :
- post your code
- post it to the Ruby On rails forum instead of the Ruby (maybe you'll
get more help)

If your code looks like

def write_to_log
#blablabla
set_lang = something
#blablabla
end

Then it won't work, because Ruby assumes that set_lang is a local
variable.
Do this instead (add "self.") :

def write_to_log
#blablabla
self.set_lang = something
#blablabla
end

Hope this helps. If it doesn't, I'm sure you'll get more responses if
you post your piece of code :)
