Content negotiation, is about how to automatically redirect a visitor to
appropriate language page, not about naming scheme for translated :
- A given URL should always present the same language (except if
the language is specified in the page:
Hardware could be negotiated to Hardware.en or Hardware.fr
but Hardware.en should always be presented the English version.
...keep in mind that in a wiki, different language of a page can have
a very different from another language.
- We want google to index every language version. Also, googlers
must be presented the page google "fount". (Therefore every language
must have it's own URL). So the only option is to use content
redirection.
No, I didn't considered content-negotiation in my page. However, unless
we have language neutral version of the pages, like "Hardware" ( !=
"Hardware.en")
