I find it rather annoying to be redirected to a country specific page which has everything set to the local language (chinese).. Instead of redirecting me based on my geographic location couldn't these sites do much better by redirecting me based on my language settings?
Outstanding idea, every time I go to Thailand I'm presented with a completely unreadable Google page. And this would avoid the extra step of having to specify your preferred country.
Great idea - the problem is that that info isn't usually given away in the user agent / IP so how would it work?
There should be some way, after all when people come to my site Ganalytics looks at what they're doing and this includes the language that they have selected.
