No. There has been no such change to the validator code base, not has there been any change to the validation service in the past months. > For me it has made the correct assumption of es-ES, > although it ignores my browser language (en-IE). Can you: 1) double-check your browser settings? 2) check that you are accessing the validator through its language- negotiated interface http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ and not through a direct per-language interface: e.g. http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator.html.es 3) check that your ISP, some proxy or other intermediary isn't modifying your http headers, using a service such as: http://pgl.yoyo.org/http/browser-headers.php > Alas, even though one might choose a different language > from the language list on http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/, > since cookies are not used (effectively), the results > fall back to a Geo-IP default. Again, there is no Geo-IP system. The validator has been changed, so that if you select a specific language in the interface, the results will be in that language too. Those changes are not in production yet, however. > Someone hasn't tested their work. > Contact me if you need a tester. I suggest avoiding such an inflamatory tone, especially when basing yourself on incorrect assumptions. Note that the development instance of the CSS validator is always publicly available at: http://qa-dev.w3.org:8001/css-validator/ and early feedback is always welcome.
