At least I couldn't find such dialog anywhere in KDE or Konqueror settings, if there is one, maybe it should be easier to find? :)

I think that this should be considered as bug as this is, or at least should be a pretty important feature in a browser. Not too many sites are using this feature yet, but hopefully more and more are every day.

Quick hack could solve this temporary; if the Konqueror only would remember which language the user selected and then used that for the specific site. Now it goes index -> select language, click a link -> select language again. Not sure wheter this would be trivial thing to do though :)

It uses your KDE-wide language settings

Comment 2 Joonas Koivunen 2005-03-24 21:16:49 UTC 
Using KDE-wide language settings is stupid as I might like my www pages in finnish but I use kde in english because I don't like my GUI to be in finnish, or for some other reason.

Hate to reopen but I cannot force 22514 to be opened.

Indeed, it's difficult to reopen an already-open bug.
