Description

Sometimes it is useful to get the client's preferred language from the request and then pass it somewhere, for example, apply a filter to fetch data.
Therefore, it is useful to access this property in the object.

@property
def preferred_language(self):
    """Returns the client's language in order of priority from the "Accept-Language" header"""
    languages = [_.strip() for _ in self.headers.get('Accept-Language', '*').split(',')]
    for language in languages:
        if language.split(';')[0] == language:
            return language
        return language.split(';')[0]
    return '*'
