I haven't found a way to detect if the server sends translated content. I also haven't found a browser that would do what you say, they don't even use the W3C recommended <link rel="alternate" type="application/xhtml+xml" lang="foo" title="foo" href="index.xhtml.foo" /> to specify alternate content. > > Also, how about people using someones computer, or a locked-down > > Epiphany...

That would suck. I just thought of something else... how are search engines going to index the alternate pages when there are no links to them? So, let's go to where this started and let me suggest putting cross links between the different language versions of the same page. What do you think of all this?
