MapServer WebSite Language Behaviour

[Flavio Hendry]

hi all

problem with the mapserver pages misbehaviour seems to be, that it
chooses autmatically the language settings of the browser. i.e. I have
in fireforx german as default. I end up with a complete mess of mixed up
languages (half english, half german). It makes absolutely no sense to
have that behaviour if not all pages are properly and completely translated.

I see quite a fes such sites lately and it is only one thing: irritating
at the max.

Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards
Flavio Hendry
