Hi Mathieu,

I just received a response from Yukihiro Nakai, the Japanese translator. I'm 
quoting it here:

I wrote back to him that Japanese is already supported via the browser's 
"accept languages" feature. I also wrote that I'll be talking to you again 
about the idea of a link to the desired language.

Maybe it's not that bad at all to add support of changing languages into the 
account configuration, as you proposed?

I can think of a situation where you would want to have most sites in e.g. 
English, because on most sites, the available Japanese/French/German/whatever 
translation is in quite bad shape.

An exception is Savane/Gnomedesktop/KDE/whatever, where you would want to have 
it displayed in your mother tongue, because the translation is good.

As far as I know, it's not possible (yet) to specify in the browser which 
language to accept on a site-by-site basis.

Again, I appreciate your comments.

Cheers,

- --
