Is this not better handled by having the langauge as part of the URI, such as "report.nl" or "/nl/report"? With the hreflang method, if a user (who's browser preferences don't include nl as a preferred language) bookmarks the page or copies and pastes the URI and then tries to return to the page later, they may not receive the the nl version. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
