(...) 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 (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) But my point is that people should _see_ a URL in the same language as the page. Hiding it inside Apache would be no fun. Play well, Jacob (18 years ago, 9-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. And anyway it is easy to set up access such that direct requests to that URI would be denied - accept only 'subrequests', as (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) 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. And I can't see how you can avoid infinite loops using the Apache rewritemap directive. (...) (18 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Cool idea - not sure I see why you can't use a plain Apache, with a semi-smart redirect-map...

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.
