Zend Locale Default Language

[moosh74]

Zend Locale return "en" by default if no Accept-Language is empty or not detected.

It's a problem typically for Search Engines because they don't send any Accept Language code, so they are automatically redirected to "en" section if this section exist.

But, I think GoogleBot and others search engines bots must be redirected to DEFAULT_LANGUAGE to avoid this problem.

You can reproduce this issue like that :

• Create a multilanguage website with 2 languages. e.g. FR and EN
• Make FR the default language
• Check "Attempt to use visitor browser language"
• Check "Redirect home to default language"

After a while, you will see in google search results by typing "site:yourdomain.com" that the root domain display the EN meta title and description, while we defined FR as default language.

You can check too in Google Webmaster Tools with "Fetch as Google" and you will see that google is redirected to the EN version of your website.

I´m having the same issue. Did you already find a solution for google to get the default language and not the EN?
Thanks
