Nevertheless, this is not logical in any sense. Having to change your browser 
settings in order to view a website in a different language is not something 
that would come to my mind at all, and many visitors are likely to be less 
tech-savvy.
 
Seeing as how it is a serious detriment to the usability of the content to have 
it in a different language than English (the de facto lingua franca of the 
internet) and how there is no clear and unambiguous instruction for users as to 
how they should go about changing the language, I still think that it would be 
better to be able to manually select the language. This gives people the option 
to read it either in English (which is arguably more useful for technical 
documentation if you speak English properly, since you won't recognize a lot of 
jargon once it's translated), or in their native language if they're more 
comfortable with that.
