Maybe if it didn't strip off the hyphen part (e.g. My browser sends an accept language of 'en-us' and 'en'). While pretty much the same, and we don't have a manual for each (duh!), if you really want a user to see what their browser is returning, why strip that part out and display the edited form twice? Maybe I'm wrong, but returning the exact same thing twice to the user seems rather pointless to me. Cheers --Andrew
