Problems Of Language Preference
</title>
<para>
The simplest model is that we suppose we should return the japanese
message when the ML is configured as for Japanese.
This model needs that the language of a ML is fixed.
This ML always returns the error message in Japanese.
</para>
<para>
However, it is not proper to ignore Accept-Language: header field
since some Japanese people cannot read Japanese on the screen.
There may be invalid Accept-Language: field.
There are several problems.
</para>
<para>
For example, if "Accept-Language: ja" is given, we can recognize the
language is "ja". However, how about the case Japanese send a mail
with the body content "help" (English) ? In that case we cannot
determine we should return the reply in us-ascii or iso-2022-jp.
For example, how about the following example ?
<screen>
[Example]
From: rudo@example.co.jp
Subject: help
mime-version: 1.0
content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
help
</screen>
</para>
<para>
We should return the English reply message based on charset
information since this message contains English only, so charset is
us-ascii. But in this case we should return Japanese message since the
sender is a Japanese. So we should return the help message in both
English and Japanese if the ML is configured as Japanese
preferrable. If English is preferrable, the reply is English only.
</para>
<para>
If Accept-Lanaguage: is specified, we prefer it. Even if the ML is
English preferrable (config: language_preference_order = en) and the
message with "Accept-Lanaguage: ja" is given, the ML returns the
Japanese help message.
&fml8; behaves like it.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="language.preference.ml.ja">
<title>

<para>
language_preference_order variable controls the behaviour.
By default, an ML for Japanese is configured as
<screen>
language_preference_order = ja en

&fml8; uses this hint.
