Firefox is getting language 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.
