As far as I know, Zope3 already has some implementation of
content negotiation mechanism regarding with:
   preferred-language
      and
   preferred charset

There's some description about it:

I have implemented experimental multilingual locale support for Zope 2.5.1
which will manipulate Content-Type header (I haven't disclosed it yet though).
