You get a translated page if it is translated, otherwise you
get an English one.
Your suggestion means that you get nothing if people get to
a page that isn't translated yet.

Suppose we have the pages "/english/index.html" and
"/english/download.html" in English, which refer to each
other.
If I only get around to translate "/english/index.html" to
"/dansk/index.html" then there will be a dead link pointing
to "/dansk/download.html".

It is probably not a part of the official Win98
distribution, but you can get a PostScript viewer at
<URL:http://www.cs.wisc.edu/%7Eghost/> and your browser
should be able to handle gzip (otherwise Apache will
automagically uncompress it for you).
There should be PostScript "printer" drivers included in you
Win98 distribution.

No problem.

Could be.

Probably because you can pay for it. :-)
Play well,
