class UserAgent {

  /**
   * Identifies user agent language from the Accept-language HTTP header.
   *
   * The algorithm works as follows:
   * - map user agent language codes to available language codes.
   * - order all user agent language codes by qvalue from high to low.
   * - add generic user agent language codes if they aren't already specified
   *   but with a slightly lower qvalue.
   * - find the most specific available language code with the highest qvalue.
   * - if 2 or more languages are having the same qvalue, respect the order of
   *   them inside the $languages array.
   *
   * We perform user agent accept-language parsing only if page cache is
   * disabled, otherwise we would cache a user-specific preference.
   *
   * @param string $http_accept_language
   *   The value of the "Accept-Language" HTTP header.
   * @param array $langcodes
   *   An array of available language codes to pick from.
   * @param array $mappings
   *   (optional) Custom mappings to support user agents that are sending non
   *   standard language codes. No mapping is assumed by default.
   *
   * @return string
   *   The selected language code or FALSE if no valid language can be
   *   identified.
