Software developer at MagicMaps GmbH.
Usually I'll answer questions here about Java, C#, PowerShell, batch files, random numbers, regular expressions and Unicode. At work I primarily deal with C++, C#, PHP and a few other things.
My interests are mostly HCI, Interaction Design and UX. Recently I18n joined that list as well. That does not mean I have profound knowledge in either of those fields, just that I am interested in them.
Note: People contacting me outside SO/SE is fine, but for discussing their own questions or answers SO already provides a mechanism, namely edits and comments. So please use those things first.
I do hang around on Freenode as Hypftier, though.

When selecting the language of a web page solely with content negotiation, will a search engine ever see different languages? I've solved this by now with using explicit URIs that contain the language to select, so /de is the German version, /pt Portuguese, etc. This may be contrary to my initial goals but I didn't trust Google to keep different language versions for the exact same URI. Content negotiation is still done when visiting /, though. The query string was used for something else already and while the two uses wouldn't contradict each other I was too lazy to work around that :-) |

When selecting the language of a web page solely with content negotiation, will a search engine ever see different languages? The site is static HTML with no server-side scripting language whatsoever. And selecting language based on location is something I will never, never do. It's nothing the user can control and you have too many cases where it fails. E.g. I'm in Germany and prefer English (and have stated so in my browser preferences). What do you do with people in Switzerland? German, French, Italian? People using TOR also will have the problem that they get languages assigned they can't control. |

When selecting the language of a web page solely with content negotiation, will a search engine ever see different languages? Well, my intention was to not give different URIs to different languages, as noted in the question. As for less-preferred languages: That might be true of technical people like us but I guess the average age of the site visitor is around 15 or so. |
