I'm working with an Irish language group at present who are determined that their site should open with a "Choose your language" page. Despite my protests that plone requires no such page, remembers your preferences and defaults to your browser settings, they want this page to ensure "parity". Their users know nothing of cookies or how to prefer Irish automatically in IE7 where available.
My problem is how to get this page to display once, preferably once ever, but maximum once per visit. I cannot make it a home page, nor do I know how to arrive at a page other than the default homepage. Ideally, I suppose, I need something that pops up from Javascript if no language choice has previously been made so that it doesn't get in Google's way.
What should I be looking for in the docs here? Or has anyone solved this or a similar problem in a particular way? I guess a Survey type popup might do?
Can anyone point me to the cookie settings which I should look for to see if a language preference has previously been expressed?
