Please think about internationalisation

It frustrates me when I visit a website like Nokia's and I'm asked to choose my region. When I choose France, it shows me the website for Nokia France, but who says that I want to see the French site and even more importantly, who says I want to see it in French? Why can't the people who plan these websites understand that there's a difference between where you are and which language you would like to read your information in?

  • Nej altsaa nu troede jeg jo at det var lidt smart at vaelge fransk som sprog da jeg nu bor i Frankrig, men jeg kan se at det kan forvirre, saa maaske skulle jeg ikke vaere saa smart naeste gang ;)

    Enregistrer er at "registrere" / "gemme" og "commentaire", ja hvad tror du selv ;)

  • And when I read comments on a blog written in English, I want to read them in English or in French not in Danish! ;)
