All right then, I'll add a cookie based setting, which can override the accept-language setting... I have no problem with a cookie, but thought that it is a good automation for language selection. :( Once I have proposed a cookie based language setting (as part of my my.php.net proposal), it was said that I should keep it simple, and use the accept-language... Now it seems this assumption was quite bad... Why the translations suck is another question. I think there is too much to learn to get in (XML, the whole translation system, make test, etc). :(( So the situation won't get better soon... Goba
