> A toggle per site is easier than navigate three level deep into browser setting page. I don't disagree with your overall point, that flexibility is useful for website visitors, but your statements requires asking the question: "easier for whom?" Certainly relying on Accept-Language is significantly easier for the website maintainer. And overall it would be a lot easier if the small handful of web browser maintainers added saner settings (even a per-website Accept-Language toggle), than if we were to require the thousands (tens of thousands? millions?) of multi-language website developers to provide their own toggle. Not to mention having a standardized way to do manage this would be better for users than having to discover each website's language toggle UI. But sure, we don't have those easy-to-use browser settings, so it's (unfortunately) up to every website developer to solve this problem, over and over and over. (As an aside, it would be cool if websites could return a hypothetically-standardized Available-Languages header in their responses so browsers could display the appropriate per-website UI, with only the supported languages.) |
