We need to deal with this... We do not currently autonegotiate language via fproxy. Even if we did we would want to be able to set the language by hand and remember it for that specific browser, that specific IP, or globally. Having said that, it is possible, and Artefact2's status line makes it more likely in the future, since the status line can be extended to allow switching language on the fly from a dropdown which is visible on all generated pages. If there is no language argument set in the node, we use: Locale.getDefault().getLanguage().toLowerCase() On my system this returns "en" and it's likely that the other european constants would also work. Chinese will work too, because Java's constants for chinese are zh_CN and zh_TW. These ara reasonably close to ISO codes - what does Windows give you? The objective for the installer setting it is simply that then we only ask the user once, and Freenet remembers what they chose. Arguably it is less prominent in your wininstaller, and that alone might be an argument for not setting the language? However, if you can get the language in something compatible with the above, it would be best if we could just select the language once.
