Yeah, it's kinda weird. I'm in Colombia and a lot of times I'm redirected to spanish versions of sites, although english is first in my accept-language.

To me it seems easier to display the page in a language matching the accept-language header than to do a geoip lookup and guess what language they want. In some countries they speak multiple languages so it doesn't even make sense to do geoip.

Most of my friends don't speak English so defaulting to English isn't a good solution either.
