More importantly, I would say, the browser’s UI language should normally be completely irrelevant to page design and implementation. I might be using an English-language browser because there is no better option (localizations are lousy). This does not mean that when viewing a page in, say, German, I would want the page to talk to me in English, to use English-language month names in date controls and info, etc. Yucca
