What are some sites that serve multi-lingual pages? How 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. As we mentioned, a good example is Google, the search engine, which responds to requests in a dozen languages. Another who does is Alis Technologies, though only in French and English. We do not know if their multilingual response is built in to their architecture as it is in skyBuilders skyServer. They may be using an Apache 2.0 web server, whose default installation supports several languages. Microsoft Internet Information Server needs server-side programming (like skyBuilders) or an additional component to serve multilingual pages automatically. planetarySales.com $499 Locale Recognizer is such a component. It enables browser language requests to be negotiated with the server. Their site currently responds in three languages, English, German, and Japanese.
