Hi Mark,
Again, any browser-setting based redirect or even not a
redirect
but a simple "your language: xxx" notice suffers from problems I
have already enumerated.
What is the problem with an "your language: German" according to my
browser settings and the possiblity for me to select "English",
"Alemmanisch" or even "Tagalog" in the list below? I don't
understand
why this new proposal -- which is helpful in prominently showing a
language the user is understanding and using according to his/her
browser settings, but let's them decide if they want to use this or
another -- is dangerous. Looks to me more like a "oh, so no one will
edit the small languages anymore" issue.
Till
Mark

Please now have a look at
http://www.tommasoconforti.com/portal3.php
(note the "3"). Only works with English, German, French and
Italian browser settings, to save on typing. Any errors are
Google translation fault:-))
This version translates all the top banner and adds "Go" box
with text in your language, and a drop-down selection of the
available languages, with yours selected first. Try changing
your browser from en: to fr: or it:.
If you change the language preference and reload, your browser
might retain the drop-down box selection (Firefox does), so you
won't see the new one automatically selected. In that case, try
clearing your cache (Firefox has a special cache for form data
that needs to be cleared).
Strings are hard-coded inside the script. Moving them to an
external configuration file is not a problem.
