Yes, but there are cases, where automatic language selection does not work. In 
particular, I want most pages in German, but definitely not lilypond.org 
(since all commands are in English anyway, having the documentat in a 
different language is counter-productive). So some system-wide language 
preference don't work in my case...

That the lilypond server always forces the German version upon me. Of course, 
I want amazon, ebay, etc. in German, but for the Lilypond docs, German is 
useless, because I mostly don't know the proper German terms.
So, I would like to see the Lilypond documentation only in English. I have no 
problem if I end up with the German index.de.html and then have to go the the 
English index.html.
The problem is that all the links (also in the English version ) point to the 
file names without the .html, so whenever I click anywhere, I'll again end up 
with the German version again.

Unfortunately, not every browser supports per-domain setting of the language 
preferences... (and I really want/need the German setting for all other web 
pages).

Cheers,
Reinhold
