Open PWA directly in browser language

[ximfritz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? If yes, please describe it.

If the PWA has multiple languages the PWA should on the first visit open the PWA in the browser language if this language is available.

I am always frustrated when i use my english browser and the pwa open up with the language de. Although the PWA has two languages de and en.

Describe the desired solution.

The PWA redirects the website on the first load to the browser specific language.

1- Start my browser who uses the english language
2 - Type in url
3 - Press enter
4 - The shop uses the english language

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Provide additional context.
If you have a shop with 10 languages where you have customers from all over the world it is annoying for each customer to switch the language on the first visit.

We will discuss this, but there was already a pull request for this that was not merged since we did not actually wanted this functionality. See #583

Maybe PR #1447 would solve this problem

[ximfritz]

@SGrueber Do you mean this would solve this feature, or which problem do you mean?

And I guessed to save your language selection in a cookie would solve this problem.

[ximfritz]

@SGrueber You mean when I save the browser language at the app start in the cookie it would solve this problem. Do I atomatically get than an redirect to the correct language?

[SGrueber]

@ximfritz Yes, there is a redirect to the correct language on pwa start - we will add a feature toggle for the 'save language as cookie' soon and afterwards we will merge this PR

@SGrueber I think we're talking past each other, I think i was not very clear.
The user visit the shop for the first time and never accept any cookies or did a language switch. The browser language is de, the PWA application has multiple languages and normally starts with the language en.

But instead of starting with en it starts with de, because of the browser language.
