Hi Clytie /and/ all those who know more about JavaScript and/or
Sourcecast than me,
There is a need for some basic content negotiation. I have implemented a
very simple bit of content negotiation in the download page [1], but it
depends on the browser language, not on the browser preferred language
settings. Somehow I am not able to retrieve these settings using
Javascript. I can only confirm that it works on browser language for
Dutch in Opera at this moment (which is the only browser I have in a
language other than English)), but it should work on other browsers as
well... though that might not include IE6...
Maybe someone else knows how to improve the javascript (I actually
looked at the code mozilla.com uses for their download offerings), or
knows how to accomplish something like this in Sourcecast scripting
system... (there must be a manual somewhere, right?)...
I've left the thread with Clytie below.

[1] The script on the download page is here:
http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/download_bouncer.js If the browser
language is different from English, it searches ( informNativeLanguage()
) for a reference in the array named 'languages' for a better suiting
language.
Though sourcecast does support some scripting (it is e.g. used for
displaying either search or login at pages), no-one seems to be able
to deliver us a good guide to what functions it supports (i've been
requesting it a couple of times). That's why we HAVE to rely on
Javascript... which can do a little bit of content negotiation... Do
you use your browser in Vietnamese? If so, would you be able to check
whether the script I made works for you at
http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/index.html ?
No. :(
My browser (Omniweb 5.5 on Mac OSX) is not translated into Vietnamese,
but I have set my global browser prefs to show me pages in Vietnamese
if available.
This works for Google.
I am not so sure whether Google uses content negotiation, or something
more IP related...
Omniweb has site-specific prefs, so I can choose my preferred language
per site, if necessary.
What is sourcecast's capabilty in content negotiation?
