Google Chrome Funny Language Detection

I thought this was rather amusing. When viewing a web server directory listing (in this case, the Maven Central repository), Chrome thought it was Italian. Seems like their language detection stuff isn’t quite fully fleshed out yet:

To be fair, it’s just a directory listing, and I bet my request was served from M2 Central’s European mirror which probably resides partly in Italy. This is strange though, since I’m in Silicon Valley, California – you’d think that the mirror routing algorithm is smarter than that!
