Hello,
I want to know why the address http://www.wikipedia.org redirects automatically to http://en.wikipedia.org... Is Wikipedia an english project with translations, or is it a real international project?
I asked myself that same question many years ago. I think I posted the first question about this on some wikipedia list at the end of 2001. Always a lot of objections. It would break links, English is the lingo franca of the internet. At the time of the change from wikipedia.com to wikipedia.org used to a opportunity to do it but it has not be done.
Wikipedia is a international project. But only the English may use the front entrance.
We can use this PHP program to solve this problem :

No. That is a very bad way to do it. There is no problem to solve. You make a page that contains links to all the wikipedias in all the languages. No browser magic.
Like; http://wikimedia.org/ch-portal/ http://fds.wikipedia.org/ http://europa.eu.int/
It even does not have to look nice. Look how ugly http://www.wikimedia.org is.
I did not subscribe to the list, because this is my only proposition.
Are you saying that you post this but will not take the effort the read the responds?
