I have an interesting problem. I have FireFox2, IE7 and Opera9 as test
browsers. All browsers are in Dutch. When I execute the following:

<?=$_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]?>

The result is as follows:

FireFox: nl,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3
Opera: nl-NL,nl;q=0.9,en;q=0.8

and then:

IE: es-us (!!!!!!)

I mean, how in earth does the Dutch version of IE claims that Spanish
is the preferential language? I live in South America, so my regional
settings in the configuration panel of XP is set to Spanish(Peru), but
I cannot find the reason why IE would look to that setting.

Anyone here to explain me why IE handles this very simple routine in a
different way than Opera and FireFox?

Many thanks!
