Not sure, whether this is the most elegant way, but:

  You could have "language access folders", e.g. "en", "fr", "de".

  Requests that go through these folders select the corresponding
  language. A ("SiteAccess") AccessRule in the folders ensures
  that "Accept-Language" is correctly set in "REQUEST.environ"
  and that even "absolute_url" generates the correct language
  specific URLs.
