A country specific site isn't the same as a language. Often they're doing business with people from that country. The US site might not be able to trade with somebody in Costa Rica. Different way of accepting money, different laws, etc.
The problem there is that each country's site tends to be only in one language. Ideally they would have every combination of language and country, with language being a choice and country not.
- bigbugbag 10y agoThat's great but consider this: I'm a US citizen traveling in Costa-Rica right now and I want to buy a Dell computer that I'm gonna pay in US dollars to be delivered at my home in the US when I get back, now I can't because I'm redirected to the .cr website that has different ways. The issue here is making assumptions on the human and her intention based on the computer and its network supposed location.
