Beno, start simple.  You can get everything else working, then deal with
objectsInTheFolder -

<dtml-let lang=3D"REQUEST['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']">
   <dtml-in "[1,2,3]"> <!-- a simple array just for testing-->
      <dtml-if "id=3D=3Dlang">
          <dtml-var lang>
      <dtml-else>
         en
      </dtml-if>
         <br>
   </dtml-in>
</dtml-let>

Bear in mind that "lang" is not going to be just "en" or whatever, and a
basic "en' may occur in several variations.  You will probably want to
do some string processing on it before doing your comparison.

I presume that you will want to call some function or script - you were
talking about a redirect earlier.  In that case, replace <dtml-var lang>
with <dtml-call "your_script(lang)">,
 and replace "en" with something like <dtml-call "another_script("en"),
or use dtml-var if you want something to be displayed on the page.

Start simple until you get the basics working, and then still try to
keep things simple.
