Example: I use Finnish as a language to write messages, but I use  
en_us locale or language pack. The Accept-Language is then only shown  
as "en". This does not mean that I wish everyone would reply my  
Finnish messages in English or I can only receive messages in English.

What happens when someone uses multiple locales and language packs.  
When does the language list become too long.
