Hi Mark,
Again, any browser-setting based redirect or even not a redirect but a simple "your language: xxx" notice suffers from problems I have already enumerated.
What is the problem with an "your language: German" according to my browser settings and the possiblity for me to select "English", "Alemmanisch" or even "Tagalog" in the list below? I don't understand why this new proposal -- which is helpful in prominently showing a language the user is understanding and using according to his/her browser settings, but let's them decide if they want to use this or another -- is dangerous. Looks to me more like a "oh, so no one will edit the small languages anymore" issue.
Till
Mark

(note the "3"). Only works with English, German, French and Italian browser settings, to save on typing. Any errors are Google translation fault:-))
This version translates all the top banner and adds "Go" box with text in your language, and a drop-down selection of the available languages, with yours selected first. Try changing your browser from en: to fr: or it:.
If you change the language preference and reload, your browser might retain the drop-down box selection (Firefox does), so you won't see the new one automatically selected. In that case, try clearing your cache (Firefox has a special cache for form data that needs to be cleared).
Strings are hard-coded inside the script. Moving them to an external configuration file is not a problem.
