IE and FF both offer a UI to input the user's preferred language, it's
an HTTP standard thing and nothign to do with user agents string
parsing. It uses the Accept-Language header sent with http requests to
detect the language. It's quite standard but problems usually crop up in
e.g. Australia and the UK where a lot of people leave the default en-US
language when en-GB or en-AU would be better. Again it's not infallible
but it's a fairly good starting point.
ditto.
So, sniffing the browser to determine language isn't the same as
browser sniffing -- OK.
Sorry, my bad.
Cheers,
tedd
