Answer 1

Sorry if I'm being dense, but I just went into firefox's Options->Content and removed all languages except German/Germany, and navigator.language hasn't changed - it's still en-GB (I'm in the UK).

I'm told if I get the German INSTALL of firefox it will work, but I shouldn't need to do that, right?

The useragent string still contains en-UK, too; but the accept-language on HTTP headers IS set correctly. Anyone know how to get to the correct setting?

Answer 2

Wow BipdelShark was fast! Here is a solution that I use to deal with most browsers:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var language = navigator.userLanguage || navigator.language;
  alert(language);
</script>

The following JavaScript will get you all the properties of the navigator object that you can look at:

document.write('<pre>');
for (var i in navigator)
{
    document.writeln('navigator.' + i + ' = ' + navigator[i]);
}
document.write('</pre>');

My Firefox has this attribute:

navigator.language = en-US

... which should suit your needs.
