Gedmo\Translatable ignoring default locale that is set in config - symfony

Question

I've decided to install "gedmo/doctrine-extensions" on Symfony to use Translatable.
It works fine, except that listener is ignoring default locale I've specified, always falling back to en_US.
Translatable is plugged in as service:
#config.yml
services:
gedmo.listener.translatable:
class: Gedmo\Translatable\TranslatableListener
tags:
- { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
calls:
- [ setAnnotationReader, [ #annotation_reader ] ]
- [ setDefaultLocale, [ ru ] ]
- [ setTranslationFallback, [ true ] ]
And when I try to find() object in database it always fetches en_US instead of ru:
$test = $em->find('Vendor\Entity\Test', 1);
//outputs row with 'locale' = "en_US" from `ext_translations_test` table
Only if I specify language directly, like:
$test->setTranslatableLocale('ru');
$em->refresh($test);
It gives desired translation.
Is there any way to set default locale that will work?
UPDATE
Adding another call function in config.yml fixed the problem, altough now I'm not quite sure what setDefaultLocale() function actually does, as Gedmo\Translatable\TranslatableListener::$defaultLocale property provided with a most horrid commentary I've ever seen. Will try to find more...
services:
gedmo.listener.translatable:
class: Gedmo\Translatable\TranslatableListener
tags:
- { name: doctrine.event_subscriber, connection: default }
calls:
- [ setAnnotationReader, [ #annotation_reader ] ]
- [ setDefaultLocale, [ ru ] ]
- [ setTranslatableLocale, [ ru ] ]
- [ setTranslationFallback, [ true ] ]

According to: https://github.com/Atlantic18/DoctrineExtensions/blob/master/doc/symfony2.md
Note: if you noticed, there's Acme\DemoBundle\Listener\DoctrineExtensionListener you will need to create this listener class if you use loggable or translatable behaviors. This listener will set the locale used from request and username to loggable. So, to finish the setup create Acme\DemoBundle\Listener\DoctrineExtensionListener
Make sure you have setup the kernel listener as well.
namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Listener;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\GetResponseEvent;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAwareInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;
class DoctrineExtensionListener implements ContainerAwareInterface
{
/**
* #var ContainerInterface
*/
protected $container;
public function setContainer(ContainerInterface $container = null)
{
$this->container = $container;
}
public function onLateKernelRequest(GetResponseEvent $event)
{
$translatable = $this->container->get('gedmo.listener.translatable');
$translatable->setTranslatableLocale($event->getRequest()->getLocale());
}
public function onKernelRequest(GetResponseEvent $event)
{
$securityContext = $this->container->get('security.context', ContainerInterface::NULL_ON_INVALID_REFERENCE);
if (null !== $securityContext && null !== $securityContext->getToken() && $securityContext->isGranted('IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED')) {
$loggable = $this->container->get('gedmo.listener.loggable');
$loggable->setUsername($securityContext->getToken()->getUsername());
}
}
}
And add the following to your config file:
services:
extension.listener:
class: Acme\DemoBundle\Listener\DoctrineExtensionListener
calls:
- [ setContainer, [ #service_container ] ]
tags:
# translatable sets locale after router processing
- { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.request, method: onLateKernelRequest, priority: -10 }
# loggable hooks user username if one is in security context
- { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.request, method: onKernelRequest }
