Just because my IP address says I'm somewhere it doesn't mean you should slap me with a certain language which I may or may not understand. People travel. There are also countries who use more than one language. Surfers can set their language preferences in their browser. You should look at the Accept-Language and Accept-Charset headers that the browser sends and decide based on them. That's the sensible criterium IMO. -- Skippy - Romanian Web Developers - http://ROWD.ORG
