Re: i18n and anonymous surfers - bug?

Using CakePHP 1.2.5 with medium security.

anonymouse.org removes the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE information from the
browser, thus CakePHP can't determine the default language to use.

Add the code below to the AppController beforeFiler method to ensure
that a default language is used.
[code]
if ( !isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']) ) {
Configure::write('Config.language', 'eng'); // <== my
default language!
}
[/code]

That works with my development site. Enjoy,
John
