Just like Larry, would I find it very useful to have the
country names in my native language[1] on the /loc/ page. It
is kind of messy to mix several languages on the same page.
Even if it is just place names. How do you choose how to
sort? And what about non-latin letters?
The "correct" solution would of cause be to react based on
the first language listed in "Accept-Language" and only use
the mixed-language version if you haven't heard of that
language before. That way Larry could get a plain American
page, and the French could get a plain French page[2].
Play well,
Jacob
1) Danish (Faroese is only my second language).
2) I seem to remember that you can write French.
