Templatization also makes localized versions of Bugzilla possible,
for the first time. In the future, a Bugzilla installation may
have templates installed for multiple localizations, and select
which ones to use based on the user's browser language setting.
for the first time. As of version <![%bz-devel;[2.14.5 which will soon
become ]]>2.18, it's possible to have Bugzilla's language determined by
the user's browser. More information is available in
<xref linkend="template-http-accept"/>.

<title>Configuring Bugzilla to Detect the User's Language</title>
<para>Begining in version 2.18<![%bz-devel;[ (first introduced in version
2.17.4)]]>, it's now possible to have the users web browser tell Bugzilla
which language templates to use for each visitor (using the HTTP_ACCEPT
header). For this to work, Bugzilla needs to have the correct language
templates installed for the version of Bugzilla you are using. Many
language templates can be obtained from <ulink
url="http://www.bugzilla.org/download.html#localizations"/>. Instructions
for submitting new languages are also available from that location.
</para>
<para>After untarring the localizations (or creating your own) in the
<filename class="directory">[Bugzilla_Root]/template</filename> directory,
you must update the <option>languages</option> parameter to contain any
localizations you'd like to permit. You may also wish to set the
<option>defaultlanguage</option> parameter to something other than
<quote>en</quote> if you don't want Engish to be the default language.
