I don't know if this is the greatest feature - definitely not in Canada where I live.  Since the country has two official languages [english and french], it would still requires an "evil", but necessary splash page to select your language (unless you want them to search for the language toogle link).  All gouvernment websites that I know of have a language page as a well as a method to toggle between both languages. Should I use en or en-GB is the casing important? "EN" should be just fine and according to my notes it is *not* case-sensitive. What charset should I use for the Itallian version the same as english or other? Why not use UTF-8 which supports nearly all languages [if not all] I can think of.  For example, ColdFuion uses UTF-8 as the default charset for HTML as well as source code unless otherwise set.
