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:
http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/LanguageNegotiationFramework
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).
