MERN Starter: Dispatch before the app render's

I try to set the user default language by a cookie in the server with the MERN starter. What is the best way to get the cookie on each request from the server? may be set the state in server.js with the current lang?

What is the problem that you are trying to solve ultimately?

Actually it's two problems:

Fetch the current user location/System language to set the proper lang in the app.
Check if the user have a session in the server, and get the details. (the JWT stores in the Local Storage).

For now i do that in the componnentDidMount Funcrion in the app.js, but it's ugly and not the right way.

Because it done by the client side, the DOM show's for a few seconds the normal header menu and only after that change to the user menu.
