I’m using $lang=$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']; to detect the language of the browser. At first, I thought something was wrong with my code. But then I tried this demo, and even if I had my ‘display preferred language’ as Spanish (es), it displayed the content in English (en). Finally, I figured out that it doesn’t work in localhost (Using WAMP server 2), but it does online.

What is the reason?

    If the browser doesn’t send an Accept-Language: request header, the PHP default is en.

    Fix for Firefox: Type about:config in the address bar. Then change the following entries:

    general.useragent.locale
intl.accept_languages
