#32479 closed Bug (fixed)

LocaleMiddleware not recognising properly zh-Hant-HK from the accept-language header

Description

If both zh-hans and zh-hant are in settings.LANGUAGES (and in this order) the LocaleMiddleware is choosing the first one instead of the second as would be expected. The actual faulty code seems to be in django.utils.translation.trans_real.get_supported_language_variant.

Thanks for this ticket, as far as I'm aware zh-Hant-HK is a valid language tag (see Language Subtag Registry), we should probably add zh-Hant-HK and others to fallbacks:

  • zh-hans: zh-Hans-CN, zh-Hans-HK, zh-Hans-MO, zh-Hans-SG, zh-Hans-TW,
  • zh-hant: zh-Hant-CN, zh-Hant-HK, zh-Hant-MO, zh-Hant-SG, zh-Hant-TW.

What do you think Claude?

Hi, I thought of different solutions, and it seems to me like the one proposed by Mariusz Felisiak is the most appropriate, so I've added a PR, in case the proposed solutions gets accepted.
My only concern, is should the match be case sensitive or not? I.e. should zh-hant-HK and zh-hant-hk match to zh-Hant-HK? I think, the current implementation will not match them.

As posted on the PR, I'd like to explore the automatic fallback in such cases. If anyone beats me with this, feel free…
