apache has auto language selection option which debian web server uses (I understant it is a compile time option.) Typically, a directory is set up to contain: index.en.html index.fr.html index.pt-br.html If all these to exist in a directory, apache will serve page depanding on your web browser preference settings. See http://www.debian.org/intro/cn as user's manual. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html for real story. (Extention can be even index.html.fr if you set it so) (I have no idea why people use pt-br here instead of pt_BR. But that is the convention used on Debian machine. If only it is changed, it solves problem. debiandoc-sgml actually convert locale to this style of language coding.) -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki @ Cupertino CA USA, GPG-key: A8061F32 .''`.
