Narrative:
We were given an intercept heading of 310 to join final for a visual approach to runway 27L. We had been experiencing some wake turbulence; and at the same time my first officer said localizer alive; we got more wake turbulence. I was distracted by trying to see what type of aircraft we were following when I realized I was about to go through final; so I turned on final immediately and I overshot a little; just a few degrees. After the turn and centered on localizer; I recall a traffic alert; but wasn't sure if it was on other final. The controller did not indicate an issue and we landed safely. Concentrate on joining localizer regardless of visual or not.
