The OpenOffice.org Wiki has been defaulting to English for all non-subscribed users. After registration, a user could explicitly set the Wiki interface language to their own preference.

I added a new extension today (thanks for the tip Florian) that detects the Language Preference sent in the Browser ID string [1]. If this is not set, the Wiki will default to English. If this is set to a specific language, for example Dutch(nl), then the Wiki interface should automatically switch to Dutch. This should only change the Wiki navigation (left side of the Wiki) - not the Wiki articles.

This extension does _not_ use GeoLocation to determine language. This works off the preferred languages set by the user in their browser. If no language is set, it should default to the Wiki default which is English. Any registered user Language settings are not changed.
