I need to get the browser language with Python flask. I have tried to use:

request.headers.get('languages')

This however returnsNone.

I tried whoer.net and it returnedit-ITFor my browser language. How can I detect the browser language with Python flask?

Check out Werkzeug's invalid ageaccept data structure, or just try something like this to get a best match:

supported_languages = ["en", "nl", "it"]lang = request.accept_languages.best_match(supported_languages)

If you need more than that, then check out Flask-Babel.
