Garoo

8 nov. 2005

The www.garoo.net root doesn’t employ cookies anymore to redirect to the correct language, but instead uses Apache’s functionalities to send a different HTML file depending on the browser’s announcement of preferred language. (If you have bookmarked www.garoo.net/en/ you won’t see a difference. If you haven’t, well, you should bookmark the version of your choice.)

I’m not sure whether that’s for the better or not — considering pure theory, it’s cleaner, but I’ve never really been a fan of this technique (because sites usually don’t offer their visitors a manual way to choose another language afterwards).

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.garoo.net to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

Tes lecteurs sont si jeunes qu'ils ont besoin de langes? :)

Sinon perso, j'ai une sainte horreur des sites qui m'imposent un language, surtout quand la VF est traduite en petit nègre... OK, c'est pas ton cas, mais quand même.

Ouaip c'est la technique que j'utilise chez moi depuis que j'ai une version (certes restreinte) en Anglais et ça fonctionne bien :-)

Ha! I'm mistaken for an English reader, funny.
