I disagree. You don't have to use dynamic pages to do that. Let's look for
instance to a portion of english/index.wml:
"<P><A href="http://www.debian.org/";>Debian</A> is a
<A href="intro/free">free</A> operating system (OS) for your computer."
And the equivalent portion in spanish/index.wml:
"<P><A href="http://www.debian.org/";>Debian</A> es un sistema operativo
(SO) <A href="intro/free">libre</A>, para su computadora."
If this had been translated rather as:
"<P><A href="http://www.debian.org/index.es.html";>Debian</A> es un sistema
operativo (SO) <A href="intro/free.es.html">libre</A>, para su computadora."
one would end up getting Spanish pages, when following the links, regardless
of browser settings. Even without changing anything in the translations, when
the html pages are build links like intro/free could be substituted by
intro/free.{LANG}.html, if that page exists.
That would be very helpful; sometimes I want to see how the site looks in
Spanish or Portuguese, without having to change the English default in the
browser.
