This would be an easy thing to do, using REQUEST.HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, but we prefer to leave
our users in control, letting them choose their language themselves
independent of browser localization. Here in scandinavia, a
lot of people use US/english OS and browsers, partly
because they're used to it, partly because you'll get
upgrades a bit quicker..
