Actually, without a DefaultLanguage documents are considered to have _no_ 

language attribute. Apache does not default to English.

The DefaultLanguage directive tells Apache that all files in the

directive's scope (<EM>e.g.</EM>, all files covered by the current

<CODE>&lt;Directory&gt;</CODE> container) that don't have an explicit language

extension (such as <SAMP>.fr</SAMP> or <SAMP>.de</SAMP>) should be

considered to be the specified <EM>MIME-lang</EM> language

by default, rather than English.  This allows entire directories

to be marked as containing Dutch content, for instance, without

having to rename each file.

<CODE>&lt;Directory&gt;</CODE> container) that don't have an explicit

language extension (such as <SAMP>.fr</SAMP> or <SAMP>.de</SAMP> as

configured by <SAMP>AddLanguage</SAMP>) should be considered to be in

the specified <EM>MIME-lang</EM> language.  This allows entire

directories to be marked as containing Dutch content, for instance,

without having to rename each file. Note that unlike using extensions

to specify languages, <SAMP>DefaultLanguage</SAMP> can only specify a

single language.



<P>



If no <SAMP>DefaultLanguage</SAMP> directive is in force, and a file

does not have any language extensions as configured by

<SAMP>AddLanguage</SAMP>, then that file will be considered to have no

language attribute.
