I certainly remember an earlier request along those lines and I think the development team said they were considering a feature whereby you could select your language. I would suggest that possibly the cleanest way of doing it would be to change message 0 to contain the character set followed by the name of the language IN that language and amending the character set selection code accordingly. Then the language names could be presented in a drop-down in the appropriate character sets. I consider modifying message 0 slightly preferable than adding a new message code a long way down which is the language name.
I would also suggest that instead of defaulting to en if the browser's preferred languages are unavailable, it defaults to a language called 'default' and that a configuration-time option for the default language soft-links default to a specific language file (if this option is not specified then the install defaults to linking the default language to en.
It's definitely on my personal todo list for qmailadmin, and I'll add trackers for that now.
Having a compile-time option for default language is an excellent idea, but I doubt many browsers will have language preferences that don't result in at least ONE match with available languages.
In a recent message, someone posted about another web interface similar to QmailAdmin. I liked their implementation -- a popup that's already set to the default based on browser settings. The user can then override it. Languages names are localized to the language in question. The new value will be used for the session, and could even be saved in a cookie on the user's machine.
