Body: <p>I'm trying to check my craft locale to offer language switching but it seems that my french locale returns the "en" value???</p>
  
  <p>When I run the following:
  <code>{% if craft.locale == 'fr' %}
  </code></p>
  
  <p>I instead get the contents of:
  <code>{% if craft.locale == 'en' %}
  </code></p>
  
  <p>Is anyone experiencing this? I don't see any code that could be messing with the code. </p>
  
  <p>Note: the site url outputs just fine: <code>mysite.dev/fr/</code> BUT if I print <code>{{ craft.locale }}</code> I get "en".</p>

  `{% if craft.locale == 'en' %}`
  
  Is anyone experiencing this? I don't see any code that could be messing with the code.
