Browser language Detection

Here is my language detection extension (to detect the language of client browser), to load the corresponding left menu file (default is english when there no file for the detected language) : My site

The extension has to be declared in LocalSettings.php, and a few lines needs to be added in templates/xhtml_slim.pt and includes/SkinPHPTal.php

templates/xhtml_slim.pt

	<div class="portlet" id="p-logo">
	  <a style="background-image: url(${logopath});" href="${nav_urls/mainpage/href}" i18n:attributes="title string:mainpage"></a>
	</div>

    <div class="portlet" id="p-menu">
        <h5 >Menu</h5>
        <div class="pBody">
	     <ul id="t-menu" tal:src-include="string:menu${menulang}.txt">
         </ul>
        </div>

    </div>
	<div class="portlet" id="p-nav">
	  <h5 i18n:translate="string:navigation">Navigation</h5>

includes/SkinPHPTal.php

          $tpl->setRef( "logopath", $wgLogo );
	  $tpl->setRef( "lang", $wgLanguageCode );

          //Modified FXP detect browser language
          $tpl->setRef( "browserlang", $wgBrowserLanguageCode );
          //$wgBrowserLanguageCodeMenu="Fr";
          $tpl->setRef( "menulang", $wgBrowserLanguageCodeMenu );

	  $tpl->set( "dir", $wgLang->isRTL() ? "rtl" : "ltr" );
	  $tpl->set( "rtl", $wgLang->isRTL() );
	  $tpl->set( "langname", $wgLang->getLanguageName( $wgLanguageCode ) );
