(...) In case anybody is curious about what I mean by a "multilingual webserver" the basic idea is no only to serve pages in the preferred language of the reader, but also to redirect them to URLs in their preferred language.

(...) Cool idea - not sure I see why you can't use a plain Apache, with a semi-smart redirect-map... It should be fairly straightforward to implement, actually - two MySQL tables (one for dirs/language translation, one for file/language), and a (...)

(...) I think it would at least require an external rewriting program just to handle the mapping of the accepted and available language to a selected language.

(...) Yes, you use an external script for the mapping... But it is a fairly simple perl script. And the infinite loops are avoided by having the actual URLs be off a separate tree - /lego/dat/model.dat could be rewritten as (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Well, first of all no one would ever see /real-files in any url or location bar, so they wouldn't know to link to it.

(...) Right - the subrequests aren't visible to the user, so they would never see the /real-files - only the URI in their local language. I guess the first check the mapper would have to do is compare the URI with the desired language, and if they (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
