Accept-Language is fun. I have an accept-language that orders them en, ja, other. aa.com (American Airlines) then uses that to display the content to me in English, except dates and times which always appear in Japanese (12月25日 午後1時10分). Fun times.


For a while I had my system language preferences set as en-UK, ja, en-US and every so often I'd get an installation that was in Japanese because there was no UK English version.


The country code for the United Kingdom is GB, not UK. There's no such language code as en-UK. British English is designated en-GB.


That sounds correct behavior to me. You should add a plain "en" before ja.


Is that a problem? It sounds like what you asked for.
