>Description:
We have done some tests using content-negotiation to supply documents in multiple languages, much like the index-page in the documentroot of a standard Apache installation.

After reading the ISO spec for language- (639-1) and country-codes (3166) we have found that the config directives for mod_mime/AddLanguage seem to be wrong for some languages. The convention with different file suffices let the document author see what language a certain document is written in.

The chosen file suffix for Swedish is ".se" which is identical to the country code, but the language code for Swedish is "sv". In my opinion the file suffix should match the language and not the country, espcially for a language that is spoken in more than one country. I mean, you don't have a ".us" or ".uk" suffix for english.

I believe that the same applies to Danish, which should be changed from ".dk" to ".da".
