I think this is a terrific idea. We need to figure out a way to do this nicely. Once upon a time before the bouncer implementation we DID exactly this through redirecting links in the download script that were manually controlled. Now ???? I'll try to devote some brainpower to this over the coming weekend. It might just involve messing with the current javascript slightly. Maybe there's an easy way to do it. I'm just really curious as to what IS showing up in the user agent for these folks vis a vis the language spec. This is why I asked if we had some folks or examples out there so we could see what's going on. > > Kind rgds > Per and to you...:) > > Kay Schenk skrev: >> Per Eriksson wrote: >> >>> Hi Kay, >>> >>> I mean the language packs for languages not released as full >>> installations. >>> >>> For e.g. indonesian users that come to the download site.
