I do not > understand why languages is galeon specific (or why you can choose > multiple languages; fallbacks if first choice not available?). Multiple languages: Yes, it is as you expect. The language setting here is used to tell any remote web server which languages you like, and in which order. So if a page is available in german, danish and english, I can set up galeon to tell the web-server to give me the danish one (even though my primary language is norwegian). The default coding is as far as I can understand, the coding of any given web page that doesn't explicitly specify it's encoding itself. This is quite common in e.g. Norway, where everyone used to assume that the user was using ISO-Latin-1. I don't know what the Autodetect encoding-setting does...
