You mean... server-side active, I guess.

Not a real problem. Just a behaviour that confused the original
poster (I think it was Fungi4All): if your browser lang is "X"
and you click on the page"s link for lang "Y" and you get a top
menu in "Xish" and a content in "Yish". The link provided by (was
it Brian?) in this thread seems to indicate that this confusion
happens more than once.
For people who don"t know the browser has a language preferences
setting (and perhaps have no idea about all that HTTP content
negotiation stuff), that might be a bit... surprising, leading
some to guess that there is an IP-based shenanigan behind the
scenes.
The confused are hardly to be blamed, given the tendency of
late to keep users as stupid as possible :-/

languages in my browser. I noticed that the wiki, while it was displaying
the default Englsh text, the menus were on a 4th language. Upon the
and tried. When I selected French just for testing, the menus remained
English. When I selected German it was all German, to me. The more
languages you select the funkier and more inconsistent the results were.
because of the page being in another english default server.
No matter what is at fault the wiki server results are inconsistent.
