Langpacks with no localized web content

[Bernat Arlandis i Mañó]

Hi.

I'd like to know what's the best solution for language packs that don't
have localized web content in case English isn't a good default. For
example, could I request a redirection for "roa-ES-val" to "es-ES"?

I think web content should use the preferred language setting in the
browser, this would be more logical and it should be easy to implement.
Could it be possible? Does a bug exist for this yet?

Thanks.
Best regards.

I would expect that to just work. At least if you have set accept lang
right. You might want to try to give weights to particular languages, I
have seen artifacts on SUMO where, in a regular list like "af en de", it
would pick "de" as "af" doesn't exist and de is coming before en in
alphabetical ordering. At least that was my guess.

But in the end, if accept-lang isn't working as spec'ed, that's a bug.
Not that I read the spec and can give you a definite call on wether the
above is right or not.
