Why does everyone think that GP:L decides the language?

It is mostly used, but especially if used in extensions it may confuse
everything.
core functions don't know anything about $_GET['L'], they decide the actual
language on $GLOBALS['TSFE']->sys_language_uid and therefore the actual
language should be asked in typoscript with:

[globalVar = TSFE:sys_language_uid = xx]


#the condition
	[globalVar = GP:L = 5]
# is one way to DECIDE the active language:
# which can have another value than the L-parameter:
	config.sys_language_uid = 3
	config.language = es
	config.locale_all = es_Es
	config.htmlTag_langKey = es
	[global]

#another may be analyzing the domain:
	[globalString = HTTP_HOST=*mydomain.es]
	config.sys_language_uid = 3
	config.language = es
	config.locale_all = es_Es
	config.htmlTag_langKey = es
	[global]


just my 0.02€
