> Yes, I know I have a Danish IP, and my language settings is British English, but just give me the original Swedish version of the content it's FINE.

Given these settings, how would you expect the browser to know you want to see the Swedish content? You have explicitly indicated that you want British English (if available).

Funny. I have the opposite problem. I have a German IP, my OS/region/locale is set to American English, and sites regularly give me the German version even if I don't want/need it and even if I've previously been to the site and set it to English. MDN is the biggest offender for me right now because I use it nearly every day, and every single time I go to the damn site it's in German and I don't want it in German.

Simple: give me a popup the first time it is not clear what language I want content in. Put a don't ask me ever again tickbox on this popup.

I will click No, keep content language and tick don't ask me ever again and be super happy.

If you really want me to like you, put a tickbox in the settings so I can save this as default into my other browsers (that don't use cookies / don't save data)

Thank you !

I would expect/hope setting intl.accept_languages to include "da,sv,en" to be enough to make it stop translating those (in about:config or through the GUI)

I have no way of judging the correctness of any given translation of a language I can't already read, so I would prefer that the browser doesn't do any automatic translation. Personally I would prefer to not be able to read the content of a site, compared to getting a translation that may be wrong, even if it's clearly indicated that it's an automated translation.

Because it's very much site dependent what language I want. I don't expect the browser to transmit ANY kind of language information to the site.

For instance I never want the Danish version of Wikipedia, but I do want the Danish version of a Danish news site, or the Swedish version of a Swedish website. There's no real way to indicate those preferences to the browser, so it would be best if it never try to deal with language.

If you have exceptions for certain websites, isn’t it still better for the browser to tell the website in the 90% of other cases?

I have some "advanced" language settings, but they are almost always ignored. For example google search ignores it and uses some kind of geolocation to decide what languages I want my search results from.

Hi, I run the Bergamot project adding this function. We're planning to launch as an add-on or plug-in experience.

Old browsers could be set as eng, swe, no, dk or some such. Serving up English if available, otherwise fallback. Is this not possible any more?
