Browser-selection language is already done by Multiviews, why are
you reinventing the wheel (in a broken way)?
Just activate Multiviews and you're on.

In general a browser will, often to my dislike, choose my native language
for me. I like to read documentation in the native language of the
author -provided I am able to understand it-.
Have a peak how apache -both their site and yours- is handling
multi-language documentation: a visitor's choice overrides the browser's
preferance.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mo...n.html#typemaps
At first sight I think it has good change of working in.htaccess too.
The configuration -name and path varies per redistribution- has a section
like
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual/">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
<Files *.html>
SetHandler type-map
</Files>
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/(de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru)/ prefer-language=$1
RedirectMatch 301 ^/manual(?:/(de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru)){2,}(/.*)?$
/manual/$1$2
</Directory>
Each set of files ...
:/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual$ ls -1
bind.html
bind.html.de
bind.html.en
bind.html.fr
bind.html.ja.euc-jp
bind.html.ko.euc-kr
.... has a mapping
:/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual$cat bind.html
URI: bind.html.de
Content-Language: de
Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
URI: bind.html.en
Content-Language: en
Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
URI: bind.html.fr
Content-Language: fr
Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
URI: bind.html.ja.euc-jp
Content-Language: ja
Content-type: text/html; charset=EUC-JP
URI: bind.html.ko.euc-kr
Content-Language: ko
Content-type: text/html; charset=EUC-KR

I'm not reinventing the wheel, I'm discovering it 
I'm not an apache expert, so, if someone as a direct example, tutorial,
please point me to it.
Thank you
