My understanding of the standard is that what you send is "I take Dutch and 
English as my preference" - but the order does NOT imply preference.

See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110#field.accept-language


It appears that the Flask backend that I am using treats the standard more 
literally:
In other words, according to the standard as written in the RFC you are getting 
what you are asking for "either Dutch or English, whichever you want to give me 
-- but I prefer en_US (with quality 0.8) over nl_NL (quality 0.7)".

We use the full language code because we have in the past had translations for 
both de_DE and de_CH as well as pt_PT and pt_BR. To keep the door open for 
other such situations, we simply always use the full qualifier. Of course, if 
you request 'nl' you will get the 'nl_NL' translation...
