28636	Allow customizing the fallback language from the locale middleware	Denis Anuschewski	nobody	"**Problem**: The user's discovered language preference is only returned when found in `settings.LANGUAGES`. That's more than sufficient for the normal translation routine, but there seems to be no way (at least no DRY way) to find out a user's preference REGARDLESS of `settings.LANGUAGES`.

**Suggestion**: It would be nice to have an easy way for finding out a languange preference from request, even if it's not listed in your supported languages. You could think of an optional flag, so that the preference from `get_language_from_request` is checked against `LANG_INFO` in the translation module rather than against `settings.LANGUAGES`. This would give you one of all available languages in the translation module. You could use that e.g. for comparing with `settings.LANGUAGE_CODE` and add a fallback for specific cases."
