This means to split-up that some languages get a redirecting and some not? Hm, I don't like this idea of special treatment.
I was the one to suggest this. I'll explain a bit. The Italian website for example is reasonably up-to-date for the main parts, but it still has lots of outdated content. If a person sees the English site and then, using the select explicitly, goes to the Italian site, he is aware that there is a nicer, possibly more up-to-date, English site available. If the automatic redirection is done, he could have a wrong impression. This is why I proposed that translation teams can state that their site is "ready",
Sorry, but I still don't think that an automatic redirecting on our initial homepage is a good idea. That would mean the user is never able to go to another webpage with redirection as it would result again in another immediate redirection.
This is a very important point. If I get it right (or you meant something else?), the danger you see is that someone automatically redirected to the PT site cannot go back to the English site and see the home page in English. There are a few ways to fix this (like sniffing the referer, or sending the "English" link in the select to something that includes a fragment), but this is indeed to be fixed: we can't lock visitors out of the English home page.
