European Commission press releases
Press releases, statements and speeches from the Commission, with a language parameter that changes the whole feed.
The language query parameter makes this a compact demonstration of content negotiation done as a URL rather than a header — the same endpoint serves twenty-odd feeds.
It is also a reminder that a feed's identity includes its query string: monitoring the English one tells you nothing about the German one.
