''This module is not distributed with the Nginx source. See [[#installation|the installation instructions]].''<br />
<br />
Available on github at [http://github.com/giom/nginx_accept_language_module/] <br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
This module parses the Accept-Language header and gives the most suitable locale for the user from a list of supported locales from your website.<br />
<br />
== Example configuration ==<br />
<geshi lang="nginx"><br />
set_from_accept_language $lang en ja pl;<br />
</geshi><br />
<br />
where <code>$lang</code> is the variable in which to store the locale and <code>en ja pl</code> are the locales supported by your website<br />
<br />
If none of the locales from <code>accept_language</code> is available on your website, it sets the variable to the first locale of your website's supported locales (in this case <code>en</code>).<br />
<br />
Note: It currently assumes that the accept-language is sorted by quality values (from my tests it's the case for safari, firefox, opera and ie) and discards q (see [http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html]). In the situation where I'm using the module, this assumption works... but buyer beware :-)<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
Download the module source from [http://github.com/giom/nginx_accept_language_module github]. <br />
<br />
Unpack, and then compile nginx with:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
./configure --add-module=path/to/nginx_accept_language_module<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Why did I create it? ==<br />
I'm using page caching with merb on a multi-lingual website and I needed a way to serve the correct language page from the cache<br />
I'll soon put an example on http://gom-jabbar.org<br />
