Snippet Name: Language Specific Response
Description: Ever wanted to give response to the users in the language they prefer? Most browsers pass the language preference using the HTTP header ‘Accept-Language’ which looks like ‘Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5‘. We can use this to detect the users first preferred language and show the response in that language.
Using the variable '$languages[0]' we can redirect the page to the language specific URL, include a particular language file, etc to achieve the language specific response.
We can also have a list of languages we support in an array and keep looping through the array '$languages' and comparing the two, we can easily find the languages that we support and is preferred by the browser.
