Replying to [comment:6 zay2]:
> Now im not saying - "i want to ignore this 1 language when it is not set
in a cookie"(quoting bpeschier). Im saying that i want the page be in
language used by target audience. I cant do this with this accept headers
based language discovery[[BR]]

> "In your case I would extend the LocaleMiddleware to mirror that; check
the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE in META before handing it to the
LocaleMiddleware-superclass and rewrite English to Estonian "(quoting
bpeschier) - There already is default language setting - it just does not
work in all cases. [[BR]]

The default language is defined as the language to fall back to when no
suitable language can be found and since you have an English translation,
there is a suitable one according to definitions. Making settings which
breaks this behaviour is not in the interest of Django or developers using
it (just another setting in an already long list).
Instead of introducing a setting which is hardly used, a solution could be
to refactor {{{ get_language_from_request }}} into two distinct parts;
this means you only have to override a very small function in
!LocaleMiddleware, which would not call the detection based on headers. It
would not be hard to create a patch for this.
