Q140 Is there a way of telling which language the users browser is using?

The following works in Netscape 4 and Explorer 4:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2"><!--
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape')
    var language = navigator.language;
else
    var language = navigator.browserLanguage;

var code = language.substring(0,2);
//--></SCRIPT>
