yes, that's the problem, but the way arround. If I give a link like
http://en.toolserver.org/~auser/atool.php to another user the GUI will be in
english – no matter if the user speaks english, his accept-header is english
or anything.
Also the way to specify the language in a third-level-domain is VERY uncommon
(wikipedia does it and a few hardware-sellers like IBM or dell) – the users
are accustomed to change the first-level-domain (google.de for german google,
google.fr for french google, google.it for italian etc. pp.).
It's also not
standard for Wikipedia. If I go to
I see
interface in language I've chosen in preferences (which happens to be
Polish). The difference is not the interface (which to my understanding
we are talking about), the difference is the active database. You would
have to add the ability to change the database and the interface
language anyway.
Anyway how would it be possible to make toolserver users to use one
common method for i10n? There is no suggested framework there aren't
even any suggested templates for a page (by which I mean a common layout).
