Narrative:
On approach to 9R in atlanta we flew through a large roll change due to wake turbulence from an aircraft ahead; aircraft went into control wheel steering and disengaged LNAV mode. Loss of LNAV mode was not noticed until late turn onto 9R localizer. Deviation corrected by crew and ATC gave us a new heading to intercept the 9R localizer. Remainder of the approach and landing was normal.
