Hello,

I recently received this request from one of our users:

'One of my clients wants to link to your institutional repository, but the 
URL is the same in English and French. We believe that it automatically 
assumes the browser's language, which is not ideal. Is there any way to fix 
this to have two separate URLs?'

This isn't the way DSpace is currently set 
up: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Multilingual+Support

I haven't dug into the guts of the code yet, but before I do get into it... 
does anyone know if (1) there's a fairly easy way to tweak it to have 
language codes specified in the URLs like Wikipedia does 
(ie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) or (2) Have you heard 
anything specific to UX peer-reviewed research about why it would be bad to 
detect the browser language and render it accordingly... or does anyone 
know why the programmers chose to have it detect browser language?

Thanks,
Carolyn.
