ISPs will supply browsers configured to the language they expect their users to speak. So naturally languages like de and fr are widespread. I guess the same argument goes for en-gb, though surely that at least should be read as implying a lower preference generic-en? Brits *can* read merkin, even those of us who prefer english. -- Nick Kew
