In this paper we investigate the effect of the default interface language setting on a bilingual website. Log file analysis is undertaken to determine usage patterns of the Niupepa digital library (a collection of historic Māori language newspapers) when the default interface language is switched between Māori and English in alternate weeks. Activity is grouped into active user sessions, which are further analysed to determine methods of access and searching patterns. The results clearly show that changing the default language of a website will affect the ways in which users access information. |
