My assumption is that that in Chris' case only a tiny fraction of the Welsh user base will indeed use a browser generating an HTTP request asking for a Welsh page (The method I presented took actually those lucky users into account). The rest of the Welsh users will have HTTP request asking for English... that's not much help. This situation occurs because it is rare that Welsh is set as the factory default preferred language (unless the vast majority of Welsh speakers use browsers such as Opera :). It would be different for languages where localized browser are widely available and used (because they have the proper factory settings).
