We'd like our web site to switch language depending on the country of
the IP, or alternatively the language of the user's system if an IP
check makes the server too slow. We'll have up to 600 new visits per
minute at our site.
Basics
1. Load DE.htm page by default
2. Switch to EN.htm or FR.htm for certain IP countries
3. Store value in cookie to avoid IP lookup for next visit, prefer P3P
compliant
4. Let user pick language at any time in our menu, updating the cookie
Free country database is available at:

Ryanair.com is a site that appears to use a similar approach.
If interested, we also have other web related tasks as well as SQL
related ones. Maybe this is not the right forum to ask for assistence,
any pointers to a good place?
