Ubuntu Romania uses drupal (ubuntu.ro), and achieved the same level of localisation/alikeness, but let us focus on real stuff and stop loco websites showcase. Regarding client side `HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE`: try this in your browser: --- javascript:alert(navigator.language); --- worked for chromium and ff. So I believe we can use both yql method and this one to get maximum precise results. Having static pages (which is also the best for performance from what I read), we can use kinda templates instead of real pages and populate them by loading a json file according to the locale we received from `navigator.language`. (Idea stolen from facebook technologies) Pros: * no dynamic languages/databases -> no server load * json data can be manipulated by anybody and archived into a bzr repo * freedom of templating Cons: * all is client side, so it depends much on target browser * requires a lot of compatibility QA Any thoughts are welcomed. -- () Campania Panglicii în ASCII /\ http://stas.nerd.ro/ascii/ -- loco-contacts mailing list loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
