True. The only reliable way to do this would be to simply ask the client
and then maybe store their locale in a cookie. My point was that any
"server locale" is completely useless since there is in general no
reliable correlation between the server's and the client's location.

I never said the contrary. Nor was I referring to anything "done
clientside". I just meant that the server's locale is of no use to the
client who possibly uses a different locale.
