I am looking for a way to find the best locale supported by my web application for a given user.

For example, my application supports the locales en_GB and es_MX and the browser supports fr and en_US. In that case the user would want to see en_GB.

I have used the locale package before, which does exactly that, but it only works on the server-side as it uses the Accept-Language header.

How can I do this using navigator.languages in the browser?

There's a lot of advice about this already on Stack Overflow and elsewhere. Why can't you make it work? – Robert Harvey Apr 14 '20 at 13:22
@RobertHarvey I haven’t been able to find any resources for this exact use case. If you did, please share it with me – Duncan Lukkenaer Apr 14 '20 at 13:45
