Accept-Language in Firebird
I was a bit surprised this morning to realise you cannot modify your accept-language settings in the options panel with Firebird. It looks however like a basic feature to be able to tell your browser in which language you would like to view the pages you are calling.
Luckily, Google answered quite politely to my question and brought me to that link (well not quite there, first to the W3C i18n page which was recommending TTLO extension). I immediately deleted that en-us entry which is useless to me and put fr as my first choice as I usually do with my browsers.
I’m quite curious to know the reason behind that: why would Firebird people decide to leave out such a feature which has become essential on today’s Internet? They are obviously not aware of a site like this which automatically displays its homepage in the language specified by the browser (also, on this site, everything you wanted to know about encoding). It’s a bit as if a tour operator decided to send a bunch of French tourists on a trip with an English-speaking guide to visit French monuments. Ridiculous.¶
