Check, the order in which I determine language:
- Explicitly set (by a GET variable, or pseudo one like /en/ or /de/ etc.
taken into a rewrite)
- Cookie
- HTTP-Accept-Language in the header
- Geo-IP info (there are free databases available, which are mostly
accurate enough to determine the coutry most of the time)
- System default
After determining the language the cookie will be sent/overwritten with the
current choice.
