Language recognition

[root-boy]

Okay, this trick could be seen on GOOGLE, if your system's default language
is not English. If it is, for example, Russian, GOOGLE automaticaly
recognizes it and loads all the links and the such (the interface in other
words) in Russian.

My question: if and how it could be done, using PHP?

Thank you in adavance.

The Accept-Language header can restrict "the set of natural languages
that are preferred as a response to [a] request" (RFC2616, sec.
14.4).

You mean browser's language detection? If so, try

print_r($_SERVE R);
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LA NGUAGE'];

If you ask, detecting the language of texts that inputted in a form,
sorry.. I don't know. Once I was searching for such stuff, but
couldn't find anything.
