ASFAIK the JS-properties I suggested provide the language the user set
as his preferred language. In most browsers (IE, Firefox, Netscape,
Opera, ...) there is an option to select your preferred languages (_any_
language you like to, no matter in which language the browsers interface
is).
So it is even better using this properties than the IP because if, lets
say a German, is in the USA he has got an American IP. But perhaps he
still wants to view the websites in German...
