The algorithm to guest the language to show is at,
  Layer-2__Business_logic/others/Language_form.php


It is as follows:

  1. If the user has set a specific default language,
     setting the cookie, its value is used.

  2. else, user browser settings are processed
     (this is the case you are talking about)

  3. else, when the browser does not offer such
     setting or nothing match with the webapp
     supported languages, we try to guess the best
     default language to use according to country
     code, via GeoIP.

  4. else, the default language is used, English.


So, to be used in the (3.) case, we would like to know your opinion about the 
above questions.

Let the project now any disagreement or possible improvement.


P.S.: Sorry for my late answer. I have got my baby at Thursday. I am now more 
busy than usual.
