[Mycroft] Problem with AltaVista Localisations

Hi Mat,

If I remember correctly you have a contact at AltaVista so you might 
want to check this.

I have a submitted plugin for the Spanish version of AltaVista. When I 
tested this it had a little problem (not relevant here). So, to 
cross-check I do a search using your standard plugin and the results 
page now comes up in Spanish!

So, I delete all the AltaVista cookies and your plugin now works in 
English again. However, use the Spanish version again and this forces 
your plugin to go Spanish as well. What happens is that using the 
Spanish version causes a new cookie to download...
  Name="AV_CLE"  Content="v0&1&ES:.:.:es:.:.:.:.:.:"

After that you are stuck in the Spanish language. The cookie has a 
lifetime of 3 months.

Good Luck!
Alan
