What are some example sites which serve multi-lingual pages? Do they recognize the browser language request?
There are many multi-lingual sites, but most ask you to choose your language from their home page. Few respond to your browser settings for a preferred language. The best site for responding is
Google
. Some others who do are
Lexicool
(home of Lingo glossary tool, in English, French, Italian, and Spanish),
Alis Technologies
(French and English), and
planetarySales
(in English, German, and Japanese).
An
Apache 2.0 web server
default installation supports several languages. Your browser must be
set to a non-English language
to see these work.
