<TITLE>Apache module mod_mime</TITLE>
The DefaultLanguage directive tells Apache that all files in the
directive's scope (<EM>e.g.</EM>, all files covered by the current
-<CODE><Directory></CODE> container) that don't have an explicit language
-extension (such as <SAMP>.fr</SAMP> or <SAMP>.de</SAMP>) should be
-considered to be the specified <EM>MIME-lang</EM> language
-by default, rather than English. This allows entire directories
-to be marked as containing Dutch content, for instance, without
-having to rename each file.
+<CODE><Directory></CODE> container) that don't have an explicit
+language extension (such as <SAMP>.fr</SAMP> or <SAMP>.de</SAMP> as
+configured by <SAMP>AddLanguage</SAMP>) should be considered to be in
+the specified <EM>MIME-lang</EM> language. This allows entire
+directories to be marked as containing Dutch content, for instance,
+without having to rename each file. Note that unlike using extensions
+to specify languages, <SAMP>DefaultLanguage</SAMP> can only specify a
+single language.
+
+<P>
+
+If no <SAMP>DefaultLanguage</SAMP> directive is in force, and a file
+does not have any language extensions as configured by
+<SAMP>AddLanguage</SAMP>, then that file will be considered to have no
+language attribute.
