Sometime ago I did something similar with PTS, but since
zope 2.8.x you can use five, which has an own i18n module,
I rewrote my code.

Anyway, if I'm not wrong, it is possible to get the current
language by doing:

lang = getattr(REQUEST,'language')

You may also try

lang = getattr(REQUEST,'HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE')

If not, print the REQUEST object in a template and see the
variables on it.

Another way I used it an Python Product was:

def getLanguage(context,domain=None):
   """Gets the current language of the user browser"""

   #I known in the PTS API there is a better way to get this, but
   #I'm not using it anymore, so I don't know where it is. You
   #may trying by looking at the PTS source
   TranslationService = context.Control_Panel.TranslationService
   currentLanguage = TranslationService.negotiate_language(request,domain)

   if currentLanguage==None:
     #PlacelessTranslationService returns None
     #when using wget or urllib, so, I forced
     #english to be the default. Note: this was in my old PTS,
     #I don't know if this is still the case
     return 'en'

   return return currentLanguage[0:2]
