Squid-2.5 does if the server indicates it based the reply on the
Accept-Language header setting via the Vary header.
Squid-2.4 can not do this, and as a result does not cache replies
having a Vary header.
See also http://devel.squid-cache.org/vary/ (this is in Squid-2.5)
and http://devel.squid-cache.org/etag/ (this is not yet in mainline
Squid).
