setPreference('user.language') user language setting impacts in next session. How to refresh session

[krohan]

Hi I am using below code to update the user preferred language via Virtual agent

var util = new global.I18nUtils();

util.setLanguage(vaVars.language_preference);

But the change in language preference only impacts when the user starts a new session. The portal and VA continue to be in previous language in the current session.

I also have a portal widget to update user language preference. On window.location.reload everything is translated to new language immediately. How to achieve similar result via server side scripting in VA?

Setting the following variable in VA helped 

vaVars.global_requester_session_language
