Subject: International Document Server Support


Has anyone given this any thought, here is my problem/idea?

What I'm trying to do is create a WWW server that has multiple language
versions version of the same documents (ie. a top.html in both English
and Norwegian).  What would be nice to do is display the English version
by default, and the Norwgian to people interested in it.)  I would
prefer not having to do this via the Kiosk method of "click on your flag".

Now how to solve this problem;  I would think the best way to solve this
is to have a clients post a message that they accept:
        language/norwegian
        language/english
is this reasonable, or should there be a better way?

Thanks,
