 * I’m trying to read / set http_accept_language to:
    1) give users text in their
   browser default language; 2) give them the option of changing to another language.
   My code works fine: [http://oreneta.com/kalebeul/test.php](http://oreneta.com/kalebeul/test.php)
   but dies once it goes into a WordPress template (same code/text near bottom right-
   hand column): [http://oreneta.com/kalebeul/2006/10/13/2000-catalan-insults/](http://oreneta.com/kalebeul/2006/10/13/2000-catalan-insults/)
   Here’s my code: `<?php $day=(date('d')); $month=(date('m')); if ($userlang==""){
   $userlang=$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']; $userlang=substr($userlang,0,2); }
   if ($userlang=="es")  { include("http://oreneta.com/libro_verde_bcn/es/$month/
   $day/"); echo "(<small><a href="?userlang=en">Traducción</a>)</small>"; } else{
   include("http://oreneta.com/libro_verde_bcn/en/$month/$day/"); echo "(<small>
   <a href="?userlang=es">Original</a>)</small>"; } ?>
 * Any ideas? I thought at first it was a register globals thing, but not sure now.

 * Before you reinvent the wheel: Check the Polyglot plugin:

 * Yeah, I use that somewhere else. Do you know by any chance if it comes up against
   and deals with this issue?
