Suggestion: automatic selection of languages based on browser language selection

[kro]

I would like to suggest an improvement for the website.

I would like to have the website auto-fill the languages to search for based on the HTTP "Accept-Language" request header that my browser sends to the site.
This saves me a lot of time selecting the checkbox(es) for the language(s) I'd like to search subtitles for.
In addition, this might save the server cpu time (because less time is spent on processing database entries that don't match my preferred language), and network traffic (because I have to perform less actions to get to the correct subtitle)

Kind regards,
kro

If you have an opensubtitles account, you can set the preferred subtitle language(s) on your profile page. A one time only effort. From that moment on, you will automatically search in only that language by default. See screenshot below:

Thank you for your answer, I'll consider using my OpenSubtitles account more often.

May I kindly request you to keep my website/search improvement proposal for consideration? (I still believe this improvement would benefit the majority of your visitors, and save bandwidth)

I am not the one to decide about making or not making any change or feature. But the .ORG website is in end-of-life stage and will not undergo serious development changes. If anything, it will be on the new .COM website.

That being said, what is the advantage of your method over the method of settings of your user account? Personally I only see disadvantages. For example, I have an English browser, but my preferred subtitles are Dutch.
