problem is: how many are aware that they can set their browser up so that the server gets information about the preferred language?

I've looked into the Apache automatic detection and found it wanting in everyday practical life. It's a great feature, *IF* users did select the language preference in their browsers - otherwise its problematic.

you can do the Apache serverside identification, but for safety's sake do also still offer the manual selection.
