I don't think Accept-Language supports "Translated", "Exact" or "Soft"? But yes, that would match the language setting that GGP asked for.


This is expressed as the quality parameter. To make the system GP proposed work atop HTTP content-negotiation, a server operator should assign a very small number to the automatically translated content.


Isn't that parameter sent in the Request?

(Also note that I wasn't talking about automatically translated content necessarily. Manually translated content still often is of worse quality than the original language.)


It is; but also there is a server counter-part with its own quality weights. If that does not make sense, play with the code in http://p3rl.org/HTTP::Negotiate and read the HTTP spec.


TIL. Well, then I wish that was widely implemented :)
