Hi
I want to display my web app in different language depends on users’ browser language.
I googled it for how to get a users’ locale then says " The proper way is to look at the HTTP [Accept-Language] header sent to the server."

Thanks

If you’re working on i18n and l10n then you might also find ex_cldr useful (I am the author). In it you will find a parser to the Accept-Language header, a parser for language tags (locale string) and a means to set locale for both Gettext and Cldr. See the docs for plugs
