slightly longer answer: The language for which a given computer is set
up is the language in which that computer is going to be most easily
able to render text. Thus, if you happen to be using an Arabic-language
version of a given OS, it will display text as Arabic where that is the
language in which the text is sent. Unicode, after all, wasn't just
designed for the Web.
Now, granted, there are some languages that might suffer limitations in
this area, but they'll tend to suffer the same limitations with
displaying text in HTML as well. After all, text is text: text in HTML
uses the same mechanism as text outside of HTML, unless the text is
actually rendered as a static image, which is another ball of wax
entirely.

This has already been discussed in length for the main page of Wikipedia.
Displaying a certain content of text due to the language of the browser
is not a good solution. It is not a solution that we direct readers to a
*certain* type of quarto version depending on their browser settings.
Have you a solution for this ?
