We are serving languages incorrectly somehow?

It looks like whatever we are doing to set language is a bit incorrect, which could lead to problems down the road.

Bug : Site returns content in Russian when opened in Latvia, despite browser language settings set to prefer (in that order): Latvian [lv], English (UK) [en-gb], English [en], Russian [ru]. The site should have been served in English. Considering the country's history and its ethnic divides, this results in a mildly offensive experience for a first-time visitor of this site.
