Hi Steve, I did not (mean to) say the client does not send the correct language parameter to the server. The client (browser) is in control and will request the language needed.
Your e-mail said the client needed to do the actual translation of e.g. layer names, and that's where I disagreed. Best regards, Bart -- Looking for flexible support on OpenLayers or GeoExt?
