Description

I mean, when a french browser hits docs.python.org/ it could be redirected to docs.python.org/fr/ in a clean way.

I'm sure some people prefer reading the english version anway, so we need to find a smart way of doing it, a way such that nobody can complain about it.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reading the five-comment discussion and examining how docs.python.org currently exposes language paths such as /fr/. Done requires an agreed behavior for browser-language detection that preserves access to English and is implemented and tested in the relevant documentation build or serving system.
