www language and cookies

["nigel barker" <tech@hiroshima-is.ac.jp>]

I find that every debian page I visit appears in Japanese until I click
English at the bottom of the page. Unfortunately some pages don't have
that option, and others remain partially in Japanese after I change
language (eg wiki pages). changing mirror doesn't help, either.

I realise that I am getting Japanese because I am located in Japan, but
can't a cookie be set for my preferred langauge? That is what happens with
Google. First visit - google japan. Every subsequent visit unless I clear
cookies - google.com.

Or if I select the US mirror, give me US english.

This is quite a recent problem. In the past I have always had debian pages
in english by default.

I'm sorry if this appears as a complaint. Thanks for the great work.
