SUMMARYThis article explains:
MORE INFORMATIONThe Accept-Language http field allows the client browser to specify the list of "preferred" languages. For instance if you select Danish with the Regional Settings Control Panel tool, for each HTTP request Internet Explorer will add "Accept-Language = da in the HHTP packet. This allows the Web Server to customize the response based on the client language. When IIS receives the request Accept-Language field, IIS tries to see if the "Accept-Language" virtual directory exist. If yes, then IIS modifies the query and adds the language to the URL. A sample is shown below. In this sample, the IIS Web Server has two directories defined:
First RequestClient language: Danish Client request: GET /yyyy.htm Accept-Language = da
Second RequestClient language: Italian. Client request: GET /yyyy.htm Accept-Language = it
