Lingua::Preferred Many web browsers let you specify which languages you understand. Then they negotiate with the web server to get documents in the best language possible. This is something similar in Perl. which_lang() takes a list of languages the user understands, such as qw(en es) and a list of those available on the server, such as qw(en fr de), and it returns the language to use. There is some fooling around with picking second-best 'dialects' of a language, for example if the user's language is en_IE and a page is available in en_US. -- Ed Avis, , 2001-02-21
