While sniffing the headers of my browser, I see that my "Accept-Language" header contains en-US,en;q=0.5
.
I understand the en-US
, but what/where is the ,en;
for/from? And the q=0.5
? This header value is static across all websites and domains (as far as I can see).
(For reference, I'm investigating why a website continues to default my language to Chinese (on the site). My headers appear to be asking for English, my browser's locale is set to English, and I've never set any sort of language setting/preference to Chinese. I've cleared all cookies/cache, etc. My only guess is that I'm somehow being routed through a CDN that resides in a Chinese-speaking country, as I don't understand how else a website would/could make a language preference determination, since it's obviously not coming from my headers.)
