I'm no expert, but I'm making bank on the fact that you CANNOT
reliably "guess" a user's language from their
browser/settings/whatever, so you NEED to give the user control.

Example:
I was in Paris, and used computers at an Internet cafe, configured
with French keyboards and identifying themselves as French-speaking
browsers.
That does soooooo *NOT* mean that I can read French.
Not, not, not.
