The website should automatically use whatever language that the browser
is setup to request (using the Accept-Language header) with English as a
fallback.  (The setting should be under Edit->Preferences->Advanced->
Languages in Firefox).  

In terms of automatically detecting based on IP.  This could probably be
done with mod_geoip, but I'm not that comfortable with mapping countries
to languages, etc.  I think Accept-Language + manual choice gives a good
balance.  

Thanks,
Ricky
