X-Google-Language header

written by juan on April 29th, 2005 @ 12:00 AM

I participate in a Google's groups-beta group. I was taking a look to the headers of one message i sent earlier, when i found an strange header called X-Google-Language with SPANISH,ASCII as data. In fact, the email was written in spanish, and the group's interface was configured to be english. So, i started to look the header of the rest of the messages in the group, and appeared others languages (english and portuguese) all false positives (they had some english/poruguese words but spanish was the main language). I googled for some known uses of the header and i didn't found anything...so...any ideas of how this header can be usefull?
juan@dinah cur $ grep ^X-Google-Language: *|
sed 's/^.*X-Google-Language: //g'|
awk '{ db[$0]++ } END {for(i in db) print  db[i]"\t"i}'|
sort -nr

184     SPANISH,ASCII
14      ENGLISH,ASCII
4       SPANISH,ASCII-7-bit
3       ENGLISH,ASCII-7-bit
1       PORTUGUESE,ASCII-7-bit
