It's also possible to inspect `request.META['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']`,
although while building an English/Chinese site recently I found this
somewhat unreliable. In the end I decided to use it as a default so
that at least some of the Chinese visitors will see the content in
Chinese right away; those that don't can click the "中文" link.
if request.META['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'].lower().startswith('zh'):
language = 'chinese'
else:
language = 'english'
