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has lots of outdated content.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.
Sure, this is one point. But to fix this we have to implement another
fix and increase complexity. But what would be the real advantage?
To get somehow forward I've searched a bit in the Internet and stumbled
over Amazon's feature:
When browsing as German user to "http://www.amazon.com"; then I get a
message hint (shown as graphic) if I would like to visit the German
website "http://www.amazon.de";. Click on it and then you will be
redirected. Maybe you can see the same within your country.

This feature means:
- No automatism that user maybe don't want to have.
- The user can go to the localized website with one click.
- The hint is not disturbing as it is no pop-up or dialog box.
If we want to point the users to their localized websites, then this is
what I would like to see implemented.
We can show a message box over the current list items if the website
identifies a user that could be redirected to her/his localized NL website.
@All:
What do you think?
I've created a little test webpage to make my suggestion more visible
(of course graphic, color and text can be discussed).
