If i go there i see: LANGUAGE GERMAN
AntiAutoRefresher or a meta-tag killer has to be active to see this.
I have no clue how they do that, since i have an English OS and the relevant HTTP headers modified or killed. Same thing with a foreign proxy.
I let a packet sniffer run, but nothing except the standard HTTP traffic.
Any ideas?
<edit>Maybe everybody sees LANGUAGE GERMAN? LOL

In my case, that is User-Agent: Opera/6.03 (Win32; U) [en]
A few common languages such as [ge] are recognised, the rest always results in 'LANGUAGE EN-US'.

User-Agent: Opera/6.02 (Linux 2.4.34 i886) [en]
Even if they use JavaScript, where IE won't all you to change the UA-string, my real one is:
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461)"
No lang-identifier here.

In fact, since that "language" does not exist at all, it should use [EN], but even using [EN] gets changed to [EN-US].
sidki3003 -- could be, I can't see any JS in the code tho. And deactivating JS also results in lang detection. Are you absolutely sure no language ID is transmitted?
BTW, if you use Opera, you can alter your User ID by using a custom.lng file: download a version for your Opera language from http://www.opera.com/download/modules.html (using an older version is no prob really, since nothing new has been added to the GUI since 6.02), and add these strings to it under the [Translation] header:
; <user agents>
20097="Mozilla/%s (Win32; U) Opera/6.03 [en]"
30000="Opera/6.03 (Win32; U) [en]"
The 20097 line controls all the Mozilla entries, so do not replace %s. You can alter just about anything else.
I haven't found the MSIE string yet alas.

If i go to IE options -> languages and add [nl] i get an error 406 Not Acceptable.
They just know 3: de, en, en-us. So setting my language from nothing to [en] fixes the problem.
But still that's highly unsatisfying.

Google also uses this annoyance, if you don't return the lang id they want, you get the Google for your locale.
Which is REALLY annoying, if you don't want to use the Microsoftian [En-US] but standard [En]!
