You might be able to do something with navigator.systemLanguage and/or
navigator.userLanguage - e.g. on my system, both return "en-gb", so you
could logically work out that my PC is set up with British English settings
and go from there...

Request.UserLanguages would come in handy if you want to
detect a browser's Accept Language with a .Net class.

Two warnings :

1. Request.UserLanguages returns an Array
Process it accordingly.

2. The Accept Language may not be the same as the
machine's setting for date and time formats.

I know so, because on my test machine and web server they are not.

However, for 99% ( guesstimate ) of clients out there, they would be.
