Comment:

 So why is the behaviour as it is?

 [https://github.com/django/django/pull/6264#issuecomment-194897558
 Explanation from PR 6264], which added the extra test and behaviour:



 > The redirect should only happen on `/` URL, with
 `prefix_default_language` set to `True` (default behaviour).
 >
 > Each other request (like `/fr/whatever/`) should not look at `Accept-
 Language` header at all,
 > just serve the page for the language requested in URL.
 >
 > When the `prefix_default_language` is `False` the `/` url is the same as
 `/en/`
 > (with `settings.LANGUAGE_CODE=en`) so we should just ignore the `Accept-
 Language` here.
