Hi Thomas,

The apache web server (version 1.2+) can be configured to negotiate
language specific content with the directive <AddLanguage>: 

	http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#addlanguage

and for browsers pre HTTP/1.1 you can use the <LanguagePriority> directive
to set which language is delivered first.

http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_negotiation.html#languagepriority

Cheers,
Paul.

The students learn that effective action arises out of silence and a clear
sense of being.  In this they find a source of peace.  They  discover that
the person who is down-to-earth can do what needs doing  more  effectively
than the person who is merely busy.  - Lao Tzu's    "Tao Te Ching"   500BC
