Please enable cookies in your browser, and so the mirror sites will be able to remember that your preferred language is English for php.net. The last used language is always remembered in a cookie, and therefore if you go to an English manual page, next time any shortcut will lead to an English manual page too. You just need to have cookies enabled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-25 06:13:01] reinhardt at planetsmit dot com Unfortunately, due to my extreme lack of time, I can not help with improving the dutch version, but what I would like is the option to choose to always have english text. I really cannot program or try to understand anything in dutch if it has to do with computers. It's a coincidence that I am able to speak dutch, but I am sure there are many people in The Netherlands that cannot speak dutch and would thus like to have the pages in english. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-25 06:07:53] derick@php.net Feel free to help us improve the dutch version ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-25 06:02:11] reinhardt at planetsmit dot com Although this new country detection system is very fancy and all, I regret to say that some users may find it irritating. Many mirrors have automatic languages set, and for foreign people living in a different country this could be a problem. I live in the netherlands, and now, if I am looking for help op the site, i need to manually change the 'nl' to 'en' in the URL if I want to understand what the page says. I hope there is something you can do about that and would like to hear your comments on this. Since I am contacting you anyways, let me congratulate the designers with an excellent website. It has helped me out millions of times. Reinhardt Smit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23799&edit=1
