The problem is that this header field is either impossible or
difficult to change, and even then only browser-wide, not site-wide.
Also, what about those whose OS/browser language is set to English,
because the rest of his OS/browser is not properly or not at all
translated/available in the language the user wants to see the site?
I'm thinking especially of the "minor" languages like Bavarian here...
there's no Bavarian MS Windows, Linux/*nix locale... so how should a
Bavarian tell the browser that he'd like to see the tool in Bavarian
instead of "normal" German? What about real languages we have a
Wikipedia and active translators for, but no
recognition/implementation by anyone except Wikimedia? They'd all be
forced to use English versions.
