It's good to know it usually works :-) I use the English interface all the time, so never really get much opportunity to test other languages. I found that using the extension that checks the browser string for language preferences much much more preferable than one that uses geolocation. Geolocation gets it wrong much too often because people are on the move, and someone may be connecting from Italy, but only speak or read Swedish (for example), so geolocating that user in Italy and presenting the Wiki in Italian isn't a lot of help to that user. Anyway, I will check up on the extension we use on the OOoWiki and see if there are any updates that can be installed.
