Thank you very much for you answer Kevin, even if you're not an expert in this!
Is there anybody else, who knows a little more?

It would be cheaper to go with a naming scheme similar to the one used by wikipedia.org, with a subdomain for each language. Using your example it would be en.cloud.com, hu.cloud.com, and so on. > 1.

(INVISIBLE = domain name remains > www.cloudhu.com in the browser, but it displays www.cloud.com) There is a header sent by the browser with an ordered list of preferred languages. It seems like that should be what triggers serving up different langua ges. Doing it that way gives you a single point of entry which may make it easier to write documentation, advertising, do branding, whatever. The common fallback is of course to rely on cookies. I do understand that either of these requires support in ownCloud which may make it difficult for you to implement before, say, dinnertime today. It's just an option. It looks like Firefox 3 (yes, I'm backlevel a bit) still has language selection in the preferences. But I don't see it (on first blush) in an almost current Safari. Maybe I just don't know where the setting is located. I don't know if this language feature is still common or not. If it isn't then it doesn't really help you. It seems weird that Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox would keep it in the preferences pane for a decade if it wasn't being used, though. Hmmmm. I don't think your #2 above is going to work. No idea on #1, though. Rereading the above it looks like I don't know much. Sorry about that. Last time I ran a web ser ver full time was 12 years ago. Oh, and I believe this is my first post to the list. "Hullo!" *wave* -- Kevin P. Neal http://www.pobox.com/~kpn/ "I like being on the Daily Show." - Kermit the Frog, Feb 13 2001
