Andrew, that reminds me.

If my preferred version (by whatever method) is Germans, or English, or Spanish, should it show me the correct version, with the "official" url for that language, so if I share it, it shows the url of the language I am looking at, or a "generic" url that automatically shows me some version.

This is tricky, b/c then if I explictly choose another language, i'll get the language specific URL, but it makes it hard to copy/paste the language specific URL for my preferred language.

So there are two options 1) generic URL that auto selects, and 2) redirect to the correct language specific URL. I have no idea which is better or why, but I think there an be a case made for both.

Perhaps someone who has done someting with multi-language content can comment, I know greenpeace.org has multiple language content, but I don't know how they do it.
