I think there is a feature in Apache which serves pages on the basis of
the Accept-language (or something similar - it should be in the HTTP/1.1
RFC) sent by the Web browsers. Sane web browsers send this info from the
locale in use. For example, if Apache detects that a browser request
index.html is in the bn locale, it will serve it index.html.bn
I am not sure if I am 100% right - I can look up the Apache manual if
you want.

Also, another possible method is to use Javascript - this code snippet
*may* work - though I am not very sure

if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape') 
	var language = navigator.language; 
else 
	var language = navigator.browserlanguage; 

//redirect user
