Symfony 2: Get the user locale

Question

I want to get the preferred language of my users. I tried

$this->getRequest()->getPreferredLanguage()

However, it returns poor results:

• safari returns en every time
• firefox returns en and
• google-chrome returns fr.

How can I mix some parameters like IP, PreferredLanguage and other parameters?

Answer 1

Maybe you just need something like

$this->getRequest()->getLocale()

instead of the getPreferredLanguage() method?
