Idea: setting preference for documents in original language

Rename files

mv blowin-in-the-wind.en.html blowin-in-the-wind.en-x-orig.html
mv osterspaziergang.de.html osterspaziergang.de-x-orig.html

.htaccess

AddLanguage de .de
AddLanguage de .de-x-orig
AddLanguage de-x-orig .de-x-orig
AddLanguage en .en
AddLanguage en .en-x-orig
AddLanguage en-x-orig .en-x-orig
Options +MultiViews

Samples

With Accept-Language header en,de both documents appear in English, with de,en both documents appear in German.

With Accept-Language header en-x-orig,de-x-orig,en,de both documents appear in their original languages.

Food for thought

introduce a standard vocabulary to distinguish:
- original vs. translation
- human translation vs. machine translation
- translation vs. adaptation
introduce a singleton (t?)
