Confirmation email should be sent in the OS language

[Leo Arias]

I'm testing the ubuntuone client on windows 7 (which uses ubuntu sso client). Here the display language is set to English (English), the location is set to Costa Rica and the format is set to Spanish (Costa Rica). I think that the email should be sent in English, because that's my prefered language on the operating system.

After following the registration, I received the email with the subject in spanish: Cuenta única de Ubuntu: Complete su registro.

The sso client running in the desktop does nothing specific to send the lang to the server, so I'm not sure how the SSO Server is guessing the language.

Assigning to canonical-identity-provider to see which part of the stack is changing the language, and to see how we can improve this.

canonical-identity-provider selects the language in which to communicate to the user based on the following cascade:

1. If the browser is sending the appropriate language headers it will honour these
2. If the user has set a preferred language, use that; you can set a preferred language via the web UI by clicking on the 'Choose your language link'
3. If nothing else matches it falls back to the default language (which is English)

The emails will be sent in the selected language. Note however than the email content may not yet have been fully translated in some cases.

So, ussoc needs to send accept headers that reflect the locale settings of
the user.
