That sistuation is public access PCs in public libraries and educational institutions. The municiplaity I work for, although very small, has at least 63 langauge groups. We attempt to provide multilingual public internet access in our libraries. We cannot make assumptions about the language our users are using. Therefore best for us if the langaueg preferences of the browser were set to null. Getting a web page served up based on the browsers langauge preferences, could mean getthing the wrong page served up. Slan Andj
