Whose country code? The server? Or the visitor? If the visitor, how do you
expect to determine the country they are in?

More to the point, why would you want to? For example, if the whole page
was written in English, why would a French visitor expect to see the date
alone written in his native language as "samedi 18.janvier 2008"?

Yup, only usefull for total translations (in which case you shouldn't
check country, but prefer the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE header). Even then,
non-text data (dates, currencies, numbers) presentation examined quite
carefully. Often it's just better to stick to a non-language dependant
uniform presentation for those.
