How can I get the web site http://english.aljazeera.net to be in
English.  I thought this was the reason for the addtional website, but
find it still comes up in Arabic?  What to do?

Dear ebr,

The reason why you can't access the English version of Al-Jazeera's
website is because its launch has been delayed for reasons explained
by a spokesman of the TV station:

"Waves of spam kept Al-Jazeera's website down for a third day on
Thursday and officials at the satellite channel said it was coming
from US e-mailers apparently angry over its coverage of the Iraqi war.

The Qatar-based network, which has broadcast graphic footage of dead
US and British soldiers, also said it would now have to delay the
introduction of an English-language site for several weeks due to the
barrage of spam, or junk electronic mail.
'English.aljazeera.net will not be launched until mid-April,' online
editor-in-chief Abdel Aziz Al-Mahmud told AFP.

The Arabic-language site has been down since Tuesday, and he said the
junk mail had been pouring into the servers of the site, which is
immensely popular in the Middle East.
The channel said it hoped to have the Arabic site back up soon."

Due to those circumstances, you will, alas, have to wait some weeks
before you will be able to access Al-Jazeera's English website.
