Initial Comment:
Hello all 
I have installed postfixadmin and set the language to nl, this works on a dutch browser, all text is translated like it should.
But if i use a English browser the translations are not done, it all stays English.

Is this desired behavior? and am i missing something in the config file 

regards,
Johan

It _is_ ready. (At least I hope so ;-)

To test it, you can checkout the latest SVN version as described on
http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=191583.

I decided to use a simple HTML dropdown (<select>) at the login page which
sets a cookie.

This leads to the following language handling preference:
1. cookie
2. browser accept_language - if no cookie is set
3. $CONF['default_language'] - if non of the above languages are
supported

Implemented in SVN r280.
Please test and report any bugs you might find.

I suggest something what looks like hyperlink: _change language.._ it's
not eating much space and clicking there opens/expands form item with
language selector and there sets cookie, this way looks better, maybe it's
bad idea... you decide

Good point - having a language selector would be a good idea.

Possible location: login page
Technical implementation:
a) set a cookie
b) ignore the Accept-Language header if the language cookie is set

Well i think it would be more logic that if you do not set language that
it defaults to the browser but if you set the language that it stick to
that language regardless of the browser language.

now i only can use nl if i am behind an nl browser.
If i am behind an polish browser i am lost.

regards, 
Johan

Yes, this is desired behaviour. Postfixadmin checks the Accept-Language
HTTP header and then uses the requested language. (Hint: Most browsers have
a "preferred language" setting.)

Do you need a different behaviour (like enforcing a language independent
of the Accept-Language header)?
