Dave,
You might want to consider the HTTP 1.1 standard for content
negotiation. If you're running apache, it's supported by default.
Details here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/content-negotiation.html
For static pages, just create each version as desired and include the
appropriate language suffixes. For scripted content, use the mapping
file to substitute the URLs.
HTH,
Phil
