Description changed by Denis Anuschewski:
Old description:
> **Problem**: In the current state, the user's discovered language
> preference is only returned when found in `settings.LANGUAGES`. That's
> more than sufficient for the normal translation routine, but there seems
> to be no way (at least no DRY way) to find out a user's preference
> REGARDLESS of `settings.LANGUAGES`.
>
> **Suggestion**: It would be nice to have an easy way for finding out a
> languange preference from request, even if it's not listed in your
> supported languages. You could think of an optional flag, so that the
> preference from `get_language_from_request` is checked against
> `LANG_INFO` in the translation module rather than against
> `settings.LANGUAGES`. This would give you one of all available languages
> in the translation module. You could use that e.g. for comparing with
> `settings.LANGUAGE_CODE` and add a fallback for specific cases.

**Problem**: The user's discovered language preference is only returned
when found in `settings.LANGUAGES`. That's more than sufficient for the
normal translation routine, but there seems to be no way (at least no DRY
way) to find out a user's preference REGARDLESS of `settings.LANGUAGES`.
**Suggestion**: It would be nice to have an easy way for finding out a
languange preference from request, even if it's not listed in your
supported languages. You could think of an optional flag, so that the
preference from `get_language_from_request` is checked against `LANG_INFO`
in the translation module rather than against `settings.LANGUAGES`. This
would give you one of all available languages in the translation module.
You could use that e.g. for comparing with `settings.LANGUAGE_CODE` and
add a fallback for specific cases.
