Привет! Doing multiligual sites presumes you can somehow understand what the client expects from you. Browsers all are full of language settings, but... The HTTP specification is very little language negotiation oriented in itself (this is probably a consequence of its having started out in a 100% english speaking environment).
I have been checking the docs here and there, but that's the way it is. If russian was my second choice there would be no way to decide whether I should be sent a KOI-8 doc or its cp-1251 equivalent. And although I am not a chinese speaker I do suspect the same problem to arise there. Now I finally understood what was the need for a russian edition of Apache. You can check some docs here: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/http.html it's a pretty handy site. All language negotiation specification ignores the charset issue. It appears as if the two things had been projected separetely, by people that simply did not know about each other. And since people speaking more than one language are a minority I would expect this issue to remain "as is" for a century or so... пока Альберто Киев -- @-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@-_=}{=_-@ LoRd, CaN yOu HeAr Me, LiKe I'm HeArInG yOu? lOrD i'M sHiNiNg...
