Bug #72118 [Com]: Not respecting accept language header

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72118&edit=1 ID: 72118 Comment by: james dot antrim at nm dot thm dot de Reported by: php at alper dot nl Summary: Not respecting accept language header Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is actually two issues mirrored by the author's two bullet points. The first is the more important and would, for most users, preempt the second issue. My Accept-Language header looks like this. Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8,de-DE;q=0.6,de;q=0.4 Yes, I can read German. No, I would rather not. Please just automatically give me the request language with the highest ranking. The second issue, which would almost be superfluous if you would fix the first, is the extremely short lifespan of your last_lang cookie, only a day. This lifespan only helps those that are actively developing on or for the site, since most users only use the site as the reference work it is intended to be and are much more infrequently here.

More often than not I get the German language version of the pages. This is incorrect because: - In my preferences English is the first language for webpage content. - I change the language to English but the next time I receive German documentation again. This is a significant usability error and it is weird that something as fundamental as the Accept-Language header could be broken here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72118&edit=1
