We're considering changing our Accept-Language header. Originally, we sent all the languages from System Preferences in user preference order, but this caused some sites to malfunction (due to the header value getting too long, I believe). However, one does seem like too few. Still, I think it is unlikely we'll have the ability to set something other than the UI language as the primary language for Web content. Regards, Maciej
