Hello
Content negotiation works well: if you have pt-BR and pt locales enabled in
browser, and go to https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/releasenotes you are
presented a "pt" translation of the page (because there is no pt-br translation
of that page) and thus the links to
, then the page is negotiated to a fallback language (en-based
with my browser settings).
Is it possible that content-negotiation is only enabled currently for
two-character language codes, and not for country+locale combinations?
Thank you,
James

Obviously, not everyone in the world uses the same language. As the
web grows it is becoming more common to find pages that are available
in multiple languages. A standard was therefore introduced, called
content negotiation,
that allows a person to set the language(s) they
prefer to receive documents
