Multi-Language Support: don't reply with all languages

Discussed in #26

I don't think it's a good idea to reply with all language strings, this could be a huge response and it would probably slow-down the PDP too. Instead, have the client PEP request the language it wants its responses in, and just return that 1 reason string.
==> This requires adding a Language parameter to the request calls.

Why couldn't we use standard HTTP language negotiation using the Accept-Language header?

I like this idea...

I don't. I think we need to be careful what Accept-language has been used for previously and how it could interfere with our intended use. For instance, isn't accept-language widely used in APIs to discriminate between XML and JSON? Isn't that massively used by tools like code generators or Postman? In my past experience, we had defined a language xacml+json to indicate we wanted a XACML request in JSON format. But that threw the Postmans of this world off.

@davidjbrossard you're probably referring to the Accept header (not Accept-Language)?

[davidjbrossard]

Yes, probably, sorry.
