If you're talking about issues with Web page display, you generally
want to do things based on the language of the Web page, not the
language of the interface.  Switching based on the language of the
interface introduces yet another variable that requires Web authors
to do more testing.

(Although when the language of the page we may default to assuming
the page is the same as the interface, which may be reasonable.
That said, many authors of English pages probably don't specify
language at all, but should...)
