The problem is that this header field is either impossible or difficult to change, and even then only browser-wide, not site-wide. Also, what about those whose OS/browser language is set to English, because the rest of his OS/browser is not properly or not at all translated/available in the language the user wants to see the site? I'm thinking especially of the "minor" languages like Bavarian here... there's no Bavarian MS Windows, Linux/*nix locale... so how should a Bavarian tell the browser that he'd like to see the tool in Bavarian instead of "normal" German? What about real languages we have a Wikipedia and active translators for, but no recognition/implementation by anyone except Wikimedia? They'd all be forced to use English versions.
