Browsers generally send the the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE header in a request. $_SERVER[HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE] => en-gb,en;q=0.5 thus with mine, preference is en-gb, failing that anything en; failing that whatever you've got. ACCEPT_CHARSET is worth a check often aswell; finally POST requests can also have a CONTENT_LANGUAGE specified which describes the lang of the content.
Yes, but as has been said in the past, you can't rely on browser headers, because they can easily be forged. ;-P I can see it now.... "That'll mess with them. Now they'll think I'm Mexican!"
Which goes back to giving them an easy way of changing the display language :P If someone intentionally messes with the language headers they deserve to get a language they may or may not know! :P -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
