Now I did first tests to program it myself. But ... I see the difficulty in
the fact that geeklog uses real language names but Browsers use shortcuts.
Is there a translation table somewhere?
Besides that the lines:

$languages=preg_split ('/,/',getenv('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'));
$languages=preg_replace ('/;.*/','',$languages);

Should lead to success.
Then something that checks through the array until it finds an existing
language file. In case there is none - use the default language configured
in config.php. Where do I put this to become proper geeklog? So far I would
put it directly in config.php or is there a better place?
Because of the above described difficulties with being abroad I would not
suggest to use it as default without a language block. If I go to an English
site I still want it to be English - even I am in Asia.
However for me it is more useful to have it in the Browser language as
people's English might be good but finding the way to "user language" is not
too easy sometimes.
