The Accept-Language header being sent by Karim's browser was:

This contains locales ("en-US-ORACLE9I", "UTF-8") containing numbers, which app/lib/kt_locale.rb doesn't accept as it validates against /[a-z\-]+/:

I do not believe this will be addressed in the next few releases, so I am closing this out. If you feel this was incorrect, please feel free to re-open with additional information.
