+You can pass a query parameter that will be appended to the URL when a user changes the locale using the dropdown (e.g. `queryString: '?persistLocale=true'`).
+
+This is useful for implementing an automatic locale detection on your server. For example, you can use this parameter to store the user's preferred locale in a cookie.
