Regarding the User Agents, I don't believe that we should section off communities by pigeon holing groups of English/German/French users together, purely because of a specific User Agent. This could only be done efficiently when all browsers have a visible and accessible option for isers to change their browsing language on the Agent. I would imaging this to be done using different requests for Uni-code. For example, My Girlfriends mother is far from web'savy'. She is an in experienced user who ventures forth on to the web only in the hour of need. Her first language is Mandarin but she speaks fluent English and browses with Internet Explorer v.6. If She had any idea that a page were available in her first language she would prefer for it to be displayed that way but as she has no knowledge of this, she makes do. Until the actual User Agents compensate for A multitude of language, it is unfair for designers to decide a users preference based on circumstantial evidence of a specific User Agent. ===== www.appletv.co.uk ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
