You are assuming the site would remember what language the users have told it to use.
YouTube, even after all these years, forgets this every 3 days, even when I'm still logged in. But it doesn't forget what ads to shove to me though.
- int_19h 9y agoThe site wouldn't have to remember. It would get an Accept-Language header in every request, and should just use that.
- spacehunt 9y agoWhich is still the wrong way to go about it, unless the browser lets users easily set this per site, like how some browsers did for text encoding.
- int_19h 9y agoIt's the right way to pick the default even now. Websites can still provide language selection. Although, yes, it would be better if there was a way to define Accept-Language on a per-domain basis (including wildcards).
