Thanks, I'll use this one.

Hmm, wouldn't it be neat if 1) or 2) then would detect the browser's
locale and redirect to the "correct" locale version (this might already
be the case, haven't checked).  This could then be the recommended way
if a specific locale isn't important; one could always request
explicitly using 3).

Of course, the redirector would have to know which versions are
available.

Is this documented somewhere BTW...?
