基于这里的答案，在JavaScript中访问网页的HTTP头文件，我构建了以下脚本来获得浏览器语言:

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('GET', document.location, false);
req.send(null);
var headers = req.getAllResponseHeaders().toLowerCase();
var contentLanguage = headers.match( /^content-language\:(.*)$/gm );
if(contentLanguage[0]) {
    return contentLanguage[0].split(":")[1].trim().toUpperCase();
}

导航器。用于IE的userLanguage

窗口.导航员.萤火虫/歌剧/safari语言

我刚想到这个。它结合了较新的JS解构语法和一些标准操作来检索语言和区域设置。

var [lang, locale] = (
    (
        (
            navigator.userLanguage || navigator.language
        ).replace(
            '-', '_'
        )
    ).toLowerCase()
).split('_');

希望它能帮助到别人

I can't find a single reference that state that it's possible without involving the serverside.

MSDN上:

navigator.browserLanguage navigator.systemLanguage navigator.userLanguage

从browserLanguage:

In Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and earlier, the browserLanguage property reflects the language of the installed browser's user interface. For example, if you install a Japanese version of Windows Internet Explorer on an English operating system, browserLanguage would be ja. In Internet Explorer 5 and later, however, the browserLanguage property reflects the language of the operating system regardless of the installed language version of Internet Explorer. However, if Microsoft Windows 2000 MultiLanguage version is installed, the browserLanguage property indicates the language set in the operating system's current menus and dialogs, as found in the Regional Options of the Control Panel. For example, if you install a Japanese version of Internet Explorer 5 on an English (United Kingdom) operating system, browserLanguage would be en-gb. If you install Windows 2000 MultiLanguage version and set the language of the menus and dialogs to French, browserLanguage would be fr, even though you have a Japanese version of Internet Explorer. Note This property does not indicate the language or languages set by the user in Language Preferences, located in the Internet Options dialog box.

此外，它看起来像是browserLanguage被弃用了，因为IE8没有列出它

如果您不想依赖外部服务器，并且您有自己的服务器，您可以使用一个简单的PHP脚本来实现与@DanSingerman answer相同的行为。

languageDetector.php:

<?php
$lang = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2);
echo json_encode($lang);
?>

只需从jQuery脚本中更改这几行:

url: "languageDetector.php",
dataType: 'json',
success: function(language) {
    nowDoSomethingWithIt(language);
}

如果你只需要支持某些现代浏览器，那么你现在可以使用:

navigator.languages

它按用户指定的顺序返回用户的语言首选项数组。

截至目前(2014年9月)，这项工作: 铬(v37), Firefox (v32)和 歌剧(v24)

但不是在: IE (v11)
