LinguaPlone does request negotiation automatically, and will send you to  
the correct page. I would, however, offer a pulldown with all the  
available languages too, since some countries have suboptimal language  
codes set by default, and it's quite common in countries like Norway to  
have your OS and browser in English, while still preferring the Norwegian  
translation if one is available.

(I know, this is set in your browser or OS prefs, but most users don't  
know how this works :)

We can do that, the bigger question is whether you want to translate the  
actual URL fragments too. By default, LinguaPlone will do the following:

English original URL:

- http://site.tld/products/my-products

German translation:

- http://site.tld/de/produkte/meine-produkte

Language code is optional, but since you wanted it, I included it in my  
example. The German URL could just as easily have been:

- http://site.tld/produkte/meine-produkte

I guess my question is that we need to know if you prefer the German URL  
to *only* differ from the original URL by language code, like this:

- http://site.tld/de/products/my-products
