The AddLanguage directive maps the given filename extensions to the

specified content language. <EM>MIME-lang</EM> is the MIME language of

filenames containing <EM>extension</EM>.  This mapping is added to any

already in force, overriding any mappings that already exist for the

same <EM>extension</EM>.

</P>

<P>

Example: <BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>

AddEncoding x-compress Z<BR> AddLanguage en .en<BR> AddLanguage fr

.fr<BR> </CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>

</P>

<P>

Then the document <CODE>xxxx.en.Z</CODE> will be treated as being a

compressed English document (as will the document

<CODE>xxxx.Z.en</CODE>). Although the content language is reported to

the client, the browser is unlikely to use this information. The

AddLanguage directive is more useful for <A

AddLanguage directive is more useful for

<A HREF="../content-negotiation.html">content negotiation</A>, where

the server returns one from several documents based on the client's

language preference.<P>

language preference.

</P>

<P>

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:

</P>

<PRE>

    AddLanguage en .en

    AddLanguage en-uk .en

    AddLanguage en-us .en

</PRE>

<P>

documents with the extension "<CODE>.en</CODE>" would be treated as

being "<CODE>en-us</CODE>".
