Language setting

This is not exactly as I want it.

It is not the language of OmniWeb application that i want to change, I 
know how this works.

It is the web pages shown in OmniWeb, that i want in Danish, if 
available.

I can explain this in technical terms. If I have an Apache web server, 
then I can name my main page "index.html.en" for the English version, 
and "index.html.dk" for the Danish version. Then Apache will select the 
correct page accordingly to the preferred language by the web browser.

Right now, OW chooses this behavior according to the language settings 
in the System Preferences, or the settings described below, but that is 
for both the language of OW and the language of web pages.

Isn't it somehow possible for me to have the version of OW with all 
languages, have the application in english, and the web pages selected 
for my prefered language?

Thanks.

Søren
