Detect language used by browser

[Guest]

Hi,
Back after a long time, I have a new problem:
the html page I made last year, whith an integrated Flash module works well.
But now, I would like to detect automatically in the Html code the browser language page code in order to open or the default flash module (french) or if the browser is not in french, by default my english flash animation.
I don't no how to make this in html. Can you please help me ?
thanks in advance for your precious help.

You can't do that in HTML. You need some server-side scripting to check
and parse the HTTP Accept-Language header, which is sent by the browser.
On an Apache server a feature called "content negotiation" might be
another option to let the server decide automatically which language
variant of a page to return.

Ok, thanks for your answer, but I don't need to install and configure a server I think. It seems to me that it is possible with a Java script. Did you know something about that?
Thanks again.

I think you think wrong.

No, and I wouldn't do it this way because it's completely unreliable.
JavaScript is always just optional, reliable solutions are done on the
server. I don't even know if and how this could be done with JS at all.
