Synopsis
AddLanguage MIME-lang extension [extension] ... Server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
The AddLanguage
directive maps the given filename
extension to the specified content language.
MIME-lang
is the MIME language of filenames
containing extensions. This mapping is added to any already in force,
overriding any mappings that already exist for the same extension.
For example:
AddEncoding x-compress .Z AddLanguage en .en AddLanguage fr .fr
Then the document xxxx.en.Z will be treated as a
compressed English document (as will the document
xxxx.Z.en). Although the content language is
reported to the client, the browser is unlikely to use this
information. The AddLanguage
directive is more
useful for content negotiation, where the server returns one from
several documents based on the client’s language
preference.
If multiple language assignments are made for the same extension, the last one encountered is the one that is used. That is, for the case of:
AddLanguage en .en AddLanguage en-uk .en AddLanguage en-us .en
documents with the extension .en would be treated as being en-us.
The extension argument is case insensitive and can be specified with or without a leading dot.
