If you provide no language code, we need to make assumptions. Whether it is good practice or not, we need to do it. If you provide the langauge code, than it is used.

No - I recieve a page in both danish and english. This is the case with http://www.php.net/session - all general content such as headers and warnings are in danish while the main content is in english. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: "If you have cookies turned on, the last language you have seen is remembered..." I have allowed cookies for php.net and this seems to work. All previous mentioned URLs now display english and english only. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: "BTW this is a feature, not a bug" I strongly disagree. Making assumptions about your users preferences is bad usability, but this discussion I believe belongs elsewhere. I know this problem is hardly a 'bug' but I didn't know where else to write. I'm sorry if I have posted the wrong place. /AP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-02 12:20:42] [EMAIL PROTECTED] BTW this is a feature, not a bug. If you have cookies turned on, the last language you have seen is remembered, so next time, the URL shortcuts will lead to that language (no need to select the language in every page view). If you would like to directly specify the language in your shortcut, you can do so. See http://php.net/urlhowto This page also links the My PHP.net page, which will explain you the language selection mechanism (http://php.net/my). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-02 12:04:29] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-02 12:03:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is actually much simpler. If the page that you're trying to view in a language other than english has not yet been translated, as is the case with the Danish session chapter, you will recieve the same page in English. If we would not do that, we'd be stuck with dozens of broken manuals where half of the content was missing. So, until someone translates it and adds it to CVS, it will appear in English. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-02 11:34:04] tilspaam at hotmail dot com Using the explicit manual path http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php provides a page all in english. Using http://www.php.net/session or http://www.php.net/manual/da/ref.session.php provides a page in mixed languages. I guess I'll just use the explicit path from now on :) /AP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
