I disagree. You don't have to use dynamic pages to do that. Let's look for instance to a portion of english/index.wml: "<P><A href="http://www.debian.org/";>Debian</A> is a <A href="intro/free">free</A> operating system (OS) for your computer." And the equivalent portion in spanish/index.wml: "<P><A href="http://www.debian.org/";>Debian</A> es un sistema operativo (SO) <A href="intro/free">libre</A>, para su computadora." If this had been translated rather as: "<P><A href="http://www.debian.org/index.es.html";>Debian</A> es un sistema operativo (SO) <A href="intro/free.es.html">libre</A>, para su computadora." one would end up getting Spanish pages, when following the links, regardless of browser settings. Even without changing anything in the translations, when the html pages are build links like intro/free could be substituted by intro/free.{LANG}.html, if that page exists. That would be very helpful; sometimes I want to see how the site looks in Spanish or Portuguese, without having to change the English default in the browser. Regards, Jaime
