How to fallback to language code if country code is not in supported locales?

[erdmenchen]

I have the following issue (maybe a configuration issue?):
I have en defined in the supported locales and default language set to de.
useAcceptLanguageHeader is set to true.

When browser requests en-US via Accept-Language-Header, the de locale is set.
How to specify, that it should fall back to en if en-US is not available?

When browser requests en-US via Accept-Language-Header, the de locale is set.
How to specify, that it should fall back to en if en-US is not available?

A browser usually has multiple languages set with different ranking values, so I am not sure if this is a realistic case, that a browser language has en-US as priority and not en at all.

However, adding this functionality to Accept-Language-Header method should't be a problem. Maybe we should make this general rule, whenever a language like xx-yy is requested, check at the end if xx is available. For example, if a browser has en-US(priority 1) and es(priority 0.7) then add en with lowest priority.

The laravel/framework 7.21.0 implements an App::setFallbackLocale method.
This is easier now.

@iwasherefirst2 Can you take a look at that pull request? Maybe this is the solution. #731
