Carrasco Benitez: > [...HTTP accept-language header...] > >I agree: it is just the semantic of q; there has been talks in this >list and before this list. > >"q" should be used for *one* of the following: > - Quality of the linguistic version > - Ordered preference list of languages Quoting the HTTP/1.1 specification: |Each language-range MAY be given an associated quality value which |represents an estimate of the user's preference for the languages |specified by that range. so the q gives the preference of the user. HTTP/1.1 does not assign any meaning to the order in which the languages are listed in the header, the preference ranking is completely determined by the q factors. >Tomas Koen.
