    Just to clarify: the languages do not necessarily occur in the preferred order. Rather, each language may have an associated quality value ('q' value) between 0.000 and 1.000. An omitted q value is the same as q=1.000.
     
     A sample header can look like this,
     
     
    Code:
     
    Accept-Language: en-GB, sv;q=0.7, en;q=0.9
     
    The preferred order is,
    1. en-GB (q=1.0)
     
    2. en (q=0.9)
     
    3. sv (q=0.7)
