         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPSITE-52

There will be good possibility to auto detect user language on start page. A 
simple java script can redirect link to the preferred page, but current site 
structure is not best for this, such as preferred language used as root site: 

Supposed that you have this following site structure: 
+- src/ 
+- src/apt/index.apt 
... 
+- src/fr/ 
+- src/apt/apt/index.apt 
... 
+- src/site.xml 
+- src/site_fr.xml 
...

I think that more useful structure is:
+- src/en/ 
+- src/en/apt/index.apt 
+- src/en/...
... 
+- src/fr/ 
+- src/fr/apt/index.apt 
+- src/fr/...
+ ...
... 
+- src/site_en.xml 
+- src/site_fr.xml
...


And then we can render more common site fore this:
/site
+/index.html
+...
+/en
+/en/index.html
+...
+/fr
+/fr/index.html


Multilanguage support will be simpler in this case
