There's been some pushing for browsers to automatically decide what language you want to view a webpage in, and that is even more insane than the User-Agent header is. The correct solution for content that exists in multiple languages is to make each language available at its own URL. Just like I already said. Why in the world would you want to lose the option to select the language you want?
