I have a site using Django 1.10 with German and English as available languages, where German is the source language. Dynamic content is translated with django-modeltranslation and for static strings I am using Django's built-in `trans` template tag.
I want Django to return the page in the visitor's preferred language. I have read how Django discovers language preference <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/translation/#how-django-discovers-language-preference> several times, and I think I have everything right. As I change my language settings in my browser, the value of the `LANGUAGE_CODE` variable when displayed in a template always changes accordingly, and also the dynamic content is always returned in the expected language by django-modeltranslation. The locale middleware is of course in place, and so are the *.po and *.mo files as well. The browser request headers also look fine. But *it's only the `trans` template tag that is not picking my browser's language preference*. Instead, *it seems to directly resort to the initial value of the `LANGUAGE_CODE` variable as it is originally set in the settings file, without going through the algorithm described in the link above*. Is this known? Certainly not what I expected, and it took me a lot of effort to narrow down the issue.
