从HTML标头中获取Django中正确的语言代码

Question

I am trying to get language choices from HTML head ACCEPT-LANGUAGE header. I have used parse_accept_lang_header() module for this. But its returning me all the language code in small character. like this [('pt-pt', 1.0), ('pt-br', 0.8), ('en-us', 0.5), ('en', 0.3)] But I want to get like first one in small character, second part in uppercase corrector. Like this [('pt-PT', 1.0), ('pt-BR', 0.8), ('en-US', 0.5), ('en', 0.3)] . So how can I do so?

My code is as following:

from django.utils.translation.trans_real import parse_accept_lang_header
header_locales =parse_accept_lang_header(
                                  request.META.get('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE', None))

the header_locales return me the locale name in small charector.

It would appear that django lower cases the language codes for you (thx dgel). Is there a reason you need the uppercasized version? You could always split up the code and uppercase it yourself I guess. Or you could duplicate the functionality of the parse_accept_lang_header code without the lowercase bit. I'm not exactly sure what the use case is though.

If you need to query your database, you could always use something like the following (from here and the original documenation ):

MyClass.objects.filter(name__iexact=my_parameter)
