In general, I like the idea of a splash screen to select the language. However, I would prefer to arrange the languages in a circle around the openSUSE logo instead of putting them into the corners (as proposed on http://en.opensuse.org/Frontpage_redesign/List_of_Proposal_Pages#Wikipedia_Like_Front_Page and http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Sample_Splash.png) About the colors: I like your proposal most, but would change: - the "SUSE" in "openSUSE" to the usual dark green - "Please select a language" to white (or completely remove it) > > I still believe that first > > a cookie must deal with the language.

Just let the user decide which language he/she wants I agree that any magic based on the AcceptLanguage browser setting or alike is evil. While my browser says that I prefer german, I mostly visit en.opensuse.org because it is the most complete wiki. On the other hand, I prefer to type "opensuse.org/somepage" instead of "en.opensuse.org/somepage" in my browser (hey, I can save 3 keystrokes this way ;-) What about the following idea for www.opensuse.org: - do not do any automatic language redirect - except: if the user has actively chosen it - this means to have a "choose prefered language" page that sets a cookie _on user request_. (This cookie should only cause a redirect on www.opensuse.org, not on $lang.opensuse.org, of course.) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Das einzige Instrument, das ich beherrsche, ist MP3-Player.
