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?
