You should have been dutch then, as in that case you could at least partially have understood those languages, having had them in school ;) > My browser however knows what languages I prefer - so it would be nice is > theese providers could listen to my browser rather than second guessing my > language preferences. That is indeed the Accept-Languages: option I mentioned. But even though my browser passes it: "Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5" (stolen from a nc on localhost) google.com redirects me to google.ch with: "Google.ch angeboten in: English Français Italiano" Pointing to http://www.google.ch/en, http://www.google.ch/fr + /it The PHP variant is a bit nicer in that respect, typing: http://www.php.net/date redirects one to http://ch.php.net/date which is a quite-close at least country-local version of the site but in english. Though doing a small telnet to nl.php.net 80 and a simple "GET /date HTTP/1.1\nHost: nl.php.net\n\n" returns the page partially in dutch. I guess they can't pick from the three languages here in .ch or they don't have a translation ready. But these are just one of the few reasons that the country attribute should not be removed, optional okey, but removed no.
