The call to _wdt route triggers a new locale update. If for instance your url schema is /nl/news but your browser is set to 'en_US', the "normal" request will set the locale to 'nl', but the dev route (without locale) will set the locale back to 'en_US', which in case you use a cookie will trigger 2 changes: first the correct 'nl', then the incorrect 'en_US'
