There were sporadic reports of the wrong language being served in the past, but it has gotten worse as mirrors (the Debian pages are mirrord to over 15 sites) have upgraded to newer versions of apache. I am willing to recompile apache and turn on any debugging options if needed. Any tips on diagnosing the problem would be helpful. I'd like to get this fixed asap. As reported before, the problem only occurs when the client does not send Accept-Language: header,i.e. the user does set any language preferences. The language returned is constant across requests. If the wrong language is returned, future requests return the same language. It is not a caching problem as I can reproduce the problem on my machine at home. Jay Treacy
